Page and I had a leisurely morning (read: went to bed late= work up late) and finally decided on heading to the Cotswolds and Stratford upon Avon.
We ended up renting a car and I was the chosen driver, mainly because I know how to drive a manual. I was initially a bit nervous about driving in England but I had a lot of fun. The trickiest thing was doing 3 point turns on small country roads, in the rain.
Our car was a "smurf" blue
We decided to see if we could see a play at the famous Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford upon Avon. Tickets typically sell out months ahead of time, but we tried our luck at the "returned tickets line." We waited 2 hours but got 2 great tickets for the Merchant of Venice.
The next day we drove around the Cotswolds checking out the quaint towns but stayed in the car most of the time due to the rain.
These are the Rollright stones, they date back to the Bronze Age. The guide book said that it might be crowded but apparently no one else wanted to brave the monsoon like weather.

We had a nice "cream tea" in Bourton-on-the-Water. But here is a tip: a "lunch" of simple sugars, fat, and caffeine doesn't really hold one till super time.
