The Cotswolds, England

Mom spent the morning in the gardens of the hotel before we all caught a
train to Stratford-Upon-Avon. We rented a car for the remainder of our
trip, which dad claims is much easier to drive than the last one. We
explored the birthplace of William Shakespeare, saw his home and his
resting place within the Holy Trinity Church, and walked along the Avon
River, all of which were a little disappointing. We then drove about twenty
minutes southbound into the Cotswolds region of England, which is
incredibly picturesque on a day like we had. We took photos in
Moreton-on-Marsh, went antique shopping in Stow-on-the-Wold (pictured with
the only stocks), and had local beers in Bourton-on-the-Water (also
pictured on bridge), which is described as "the Venice of the Cotswolds"
and was everyone's favorite. We stayed the night in Cheltenham and enjoyed
local Indian cuisine, which is of course very popular in England. While
Walker and I stayed in a typical bedroom, the parents' room was lavishly
decorated in Asian art and called the "Out of Asia Suite". Needless to say,
Debbie no longer felt "at home"...
