STRATFORD & SHAKESPEARE

On Tuesday we started the lessons at nine o'clock, like every morning. We are in Mr. Khalid's group and that day we were doing speaking all the morning. After that, we went to Victoria Gardens and we had lunch there. We were very comfortable lying on the grass and we had a very good lunch. Then we had to go to the Parish Church to take the bus to Stratford.
When we arrived at Stratford, we got out the bus and the first stop of our trip was visiting Shakespeare's house, the place where he lived during his childhood. First we watch a video about his life and his work and then we visited all the rooms in the house, where there were people that explained things about how Shakespeare's family lived. And when we were finishing the visit, we saw an actor that knew a lot of plays by heart and we saw him performing some parts of them. One of the girls, Maria, had to play the Juliet role. It was really amazing!
After this, we had free time and while a part of our group went shopping, the other one follow Father Jesus to visit the church where Shakespeare is buried. We could see his grave there. Next, we visit a theater.
After, some of us took a boat and others went to McDonal's to eat an ice-cream. We met at five and we went back to Leamington and then we went home and spent the evening with the host family.
