Our dining room at Moor Park School...
...just kidding. Today we went to Warwick Castle [pronounced Warick], one of the largest and most impressive castles in England. It is a very popular destination, hence we encountered many English school children. There was a lot to do...towers, dungeons, parlors, state rooms, raptor show [eagles, vultures and peacocks] and beautiful grounds. Madam Trousseau figures populated the interior space. Guys Tower was the tallest tower with a tiny winding, narrow, slightly claustrophobic stairway. And the climb was almost as great as the view.

After Warwick, we traveled a short distance to Strafford on Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare. A few of us toured his childhood home and watched actors perform excerpts from his plays in the beautiful garden setting.
Some of us visited the town cathedral.
