Shakespeare's "Might-have-been" Birthplace

Here I am in the town Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare was born and married his wife Anne Hathaway. This is the house where scholars believe Shakespeare was born and lived while he was a child and young adult.
This window is the original window from the room that Shakespeare "might have been born" in. The best part of this window were the signatures on it. Famous authors (that I love) such as Charles Dickens and Mark Twain signed this window when they visited this same place.
Here is a photo of Anne Hathaway's cottage. At least they actually know she lived here. It was surrounded by wonderful gardens that were just beginning to bloom. I enjoyed this trip to the countryside. It was like a glimpse back into Shakespeare's time.
