Two things today:
a. I climbed to the top of a castle
and
2. I saw a Shakespeare play performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company…in Shakespeare's hometown (that's a lot of 'Shakespeare').
View from top of Warwick Castle.
Eight hours of stairs later...YES!!
When in Stratford-upon-Avon, do wear fresh flowers in your hair.
OVERJOYED to be standing in front of the home where WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE was birthed. Really.
I'm spent, and I need to get packed/rested for my big journey tomorrow to the Emerald Isle. Whoooo! I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for this!
We depart via train at 0800 (2 a.m. CT), then have a layover before ferrying out. I believe we should arrive sometime around 1600. I am taking just a carry on bag so it's going to be tight packing. Tomorrow evening I will be staying in a hostel in Dublin, and sleeping with my belongings as I am sharing a room with 18 mixed strangers. I am excited with uncertainty!
If I don't post in the next few days (I likely won't have I-net access), I wish everyone a fantastic Easter loaded with family/friends/pets/etc. I know I will be missing my favorite "Progressive Easter" that my family puts on, with wonderful food and even better company! You'll be in my thoughts on Sunday!
Love, and of course as they say here, "cheers"!
