Rose and I could not spend a whole year in England and not visit the home of the world's greatest writer!
Shakespeare's complete works were preserved in this 17th century book compiled by actors who preformed in his plays. A purchase price of one pound in 1620, it is now a priceless piece of literary history.
Shakespeare's birth place in Stratford-Upon-Avon has seen over 25 million visitors! We joined the prestigious guest list that has included Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Charles Dickens, John Keats, and Walter Scott, to name just a few.
Shakespeare's back garden
Shakespeare's daughter married a wealthy doctor and lived in Hall's Croft briefly before Shakespeare's death in 1616. This was Jesse's favorite garden.
Rose's favourite house was the cottage where Shakespeare's wife, Anne Hathaway was raised. The house dates back to the 1400's!! Not bad for a wattle and daub model.
Rose's favorite stop in Stratford was at The Oppo restaurant. She loved the 16th century atmosphere and excellent priced eats.
