One of my favorite places that we visited while I was in Scotland was Stratford-upon-Avon. Simply put, a strat is a road in Roman, a ford as we all know is a river crossing, and the Avon is a river, so therefore, a street crossing the River Avon.
We spent two beautiful nights in Stratford-upon-Avon and I had the most fun there of all of our weekend jaunts.
On Saturday, while I roamed the streets of Avon and joined structured tours, Jan went to the races being held about 40 miles down the road. When Jan got back, he and I rode one of the tour boats on the River Avon. 


That is absolutely breath-taking! On Saturday evening, we had a lovely dinner, and then we went to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and saw a rendition of "A Midsummer's Night Dream."


Needless to say, when I arrived back in Aberdeen the first thing I did was to call Karron up and rub it in. That is one of her favorite Shakespearean plays. (Tell me later how mean it was of me to tease Karron!)
I adore the beautiful views in and around this little town. As much as I would love to visit there again, I would never in my life live there since it is nothing more than a tourist trap now!
