First, I went to the birthplace of Shakespeare and we all went inside the building to get our tickets and go into the little village and learn about his life in poetry, theater and writing. The first exhibition I learned about his village and his family. He had three brothers and four sisters but two of the sisters died when they were babies. Next, I entered in another room and learned about Shakespeare learning to read and write and loving theater and starting his career. Finally, I learned about his plays like Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. When we were done inside we went outside to his real house and we got to see his room, kitchen, table, his dads glove store, and so much more. Also we saw where the phrase sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite. The phrase came from the ropes under the wool matress, because they had to tighten the bed, so the bed wouldn't sink. So that's the part sleep tight and the the other part don't let the bed bugs bite, came from the wool mattress because it carried bugs. When we were all done in the house. We got to see a performance of a man acting on of the lines in Hamlet, when he was done we applauded and then went to the tables and ate lunch it was salami and vegetables.
After that, we headed to the gift shop, I got postcards to send to my friends and family, after that we went around to shops and did our errands. When we were done we got surprised by getting to go and have tea and desserts. Yummy! When we got there we went inside and ordered. Five minutes later we got our tea and desserts and started eating. Did you know that many people would have afternoon tea and eat scones, little sandwiches, and drank tea as a snack. In the tea room there were ladies dressed like in the 1940s with a bonnet and a dress with a white apron. I really liked the desserts, there were custards, a cookie, and a brownie and sandwiches. I was really full, but it was so good.
