That's Wales (no h)



No pictures this time, sorry. I'm at a public library computer, so I can't upload anything off of my camera. Speaking of computers, the program on this one is called rhwydwaithybobl@ eich llyfrgel," which apparently means "the people's network at your library." Sure it does...
The Welsh seem to be in competition with the Polish for most consecutive consonants used in a single word or sentence. The language sounds very graceful when a native person speaks it, though. Wales is a nice area; kind of under rated, I think. The South had kind of a gritty, industrial feel to it, but the North is really pretty. The place where I've been staying the last two nights is about 20 yards away from an old castle-cool! And I got to go hiking for a bit yesterday, which is always refreshing.
OK, I'm sticking some pictures in after the fact. Here's some shopping in Cardiff (South Wales), and a picture of the medieval town wall in Conwy taken from my bedroom window (North Wales)
