Sut rydych chi?



Wales is full of sheep. In fact, there are more sheep than people.

Annie and I went to Wales for a long weekend and ended up in Bala (in Snowdonia) and Aberaeron (on the coast) for no better reason than we could pronounce them. Imagine either of us trying to tell you about our pleasant weekend in Blaen-cil-ileach or an afternoon hike around Llyn Trawsfynnd.

It is a remarkably beautiful part of England, with lush greenery, hearty abbeys and castles (thanks to a close - albeit unbalanced - relationship with both the Romans and the English), tasty food, and very narrow roads. We did not however partake in any Welsh rarebit as there are rumored nightmares associated with eating too much of it!

To and from, I was able to practice driving on the left side of the road, navigate several roundabouts (many in quick succession), and generally make myself less of a road hazard.

Did I mention the sheep?

PS - The headline is Welsh for "how are you?"
