The Cotswolds

A few weeks ago we took a day trip to the Cotswolds to see what it was like and visit "Shakespeare Country."  We found Stratford Upon Avon, where the birthplace of Shakespeare.  We walked around the streets and soaked up the atmosphere.  Had a nice lunch outside and took a walk along the Avon river.  

A nice Olympic display on one of the roundabouts.

After some fun shopping in Stratford, we drove to a neighboring town called Chipping Campden.  We just walked around this quaint town and enjoyed its simple beauty.  It's one of those towns that seems like it would be so lovely to grow old in.  What I remember most is the smell of roses in the air.
