Stratford and Shakespeare
Author: KevinSo the one thing about Stratford-Upon-Avon that struck me as odd was the fact that William Shakespeare was buried inside the local church. I was under the impression that people buried inside these elaborate churches were usually of some large importance to the church community. I may be wrong but I didn't think that Shakespeare was a priest or viccar or anything. Anyways, Holy Trinity Church was absolutely beatiful and was an inspiration to see. I got a bit sunkissed but thats only because I'm a really white person and I forgot to bring sunscreen. Well tomorrow a couple of us are attending Church Central which meets right across from Birmingham Uni and also is right next to the school where J.R. Tolkien went to school as a boy. The students that invited us were really awesome so I am really excited to get to know them more and find out what church in the U.K. is like. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous for the past two days, which is an answered prayer since we had a BBQ for the international students. That was also a great thing getting to meet and just hang out with lots of the Chinese students and the British students that we will be working alongside. Well there's soo much to do tomorrow, including a Barn Dance British style which should be very interesting, so I'm gonna head to bed. Cheers!
