Welsh Bits

Original Log-flume ride? Wrong! It's an aquaduct for houseboats!

Sheep.

So good! Made with real dandelions and burdock!

We were trying to find Hufflepuff but ended up in the Owlery by mistake...

Another week. Most of my classes are almost over, (most meaning two). Another one started on Monday that I’m trying real hard to have a good attitude about. I’ll be home one month from yesterday for Heather’s graduation, (she’s decided to go to Whitworth next year!!! EEK! Happy.) and then either stay home or back here for a few weeks, we’ll see.

Well it seems like the natural thing to do now would be tell y’all about Wales.

Wales, contrary to what the British say, is a country (not a county) on the western portion of this island. It has about 3 million people and about 9 million sheep, (not an exaggeration). Our tour, (that I almost slept through by accident), went from Chester, to a few places before Conwy (pronounced “Con-way”) Castle, then to Snowdonia, (a gorgeous national park), then to this lush forest in the south, and then home. It was a really nice day, and the tour company was great. I had a little trouble, because I put my contacts in the wrong eyes, because I was running late and therefore was carsick all day. Annnnd, sorry Welsh kids, but all my favorite parts of Wales were the places that made me think of Scotland. Who did them better. But! nevertheless, it was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed bumming around more castles and countryside with Melissa.

Enjoyed leaving my phone somewhere on the heath less. Luckily it’s now at a hotel.
