yet more castle gazing
The weather here has been pretty good but today it is rainy. But we don't let that stop us! We went to Anglesey to another castl, Beaumaris, which was great but since most of it doesn't have a roof it was very wet. But so cool to go down passageways between the walls and see the rooms and arrow slits, etc. Had tea at a teahouse and walked the town of Beaumaris for a while. Back in Bangor at a pub with wireless internet access and planning our next steps.
Tomorrow we go to Dublin for the weekend. Booked our B&B before we left and booked the train tickets last night. Back here on Monday then on down south. Wales is beautiful, everything is so old. All these castles we have seen were built in the 1200s. The driving is quite an adventure. Wrong side of the road is one thing, but the roads are so narrow that you feel like you will be hitting oncoming traffic. And traffic circles in the middle of the highway. It is very cool to see all these beautiful old houses all around.

Sounds as though you are having a good time. What is the world coming to, wireless in the Pub I thought that was only allowed in coffee shops. Grace and I have been dumped by both Sam and Al, so we are feeling quite unloved. We will go to Calgary ourselves and have a good time wihtout those guys!! Have not seen much of Grace the last couple of days, with her work and school. Quick hello in the morning, a bit of a chat after school, and I am always in bed by the time she gets home from work. So glad to hear the castles are living up to the billing.
Secretly, Judith & Grace are thinking, "We're glad those deadbeats aren't here to cramp our style."
