Next morning, the Inn offered choices of a Continental breakfast of fruit, pastries, yogurt, and cereal, or a traditional English breakfast of sausage links(bangors), slice of ham, fried egg, grilled tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, and toast (individually provided on a special rack, rather than lying on a plate). We hope that walking through Stratford's carnival-like streets will burn at least some of these calories! It was today that we visited Shaxpere's famous birthplace (one block from our Inn) a fascinating look back at the sixteenth century, along with it's wonderful grounds, and we viewed snippets of plays performed in the garden.There a cute young red-haired actress made Steve one of her accomplices in a brief look at what may have been perhaps "The Merry Wives of Windsor". When the red-haired character's rival called her a "Canker-blossom" for nuzzling Steve, I knew I would be able to double check the play's title when I got home. It's one of Shakespeare's most famous insults!
