okay, so this is kind of bumrushing entries, but I do what I can! So two weekends ago, I went to to North Wales with the International Society. It was BEAUTIFUL. We visited two places: a town called Llangollen and Erdigg (a home in Wales). In Llangollen we just walked about town. It was a definite change of pace from Manchester. The coolest thing was that signs were in both Welsh and English. It was really cool to learn about a culture that I think many people wouldn't realize existed. There was a food and drink festival and a lot of music. I bought some bread, and it was fantastic. We spent a few hours there, hanging out in town and walking in the River Dee. There was also a corn mill that is about 600 years old! Pretty cool. After Llangollen we left to Erdigg, which was really huge. There were a lot of people and narrow staircases. It was fascinating and it was really nice walking through the house. The gardens were also beautiful, and it was just nice to be out in the country. I love how I continue to learn about the multiple cultures in England.
1 people hope it rains there all the time:
Thus the problem with our education system--unless you actually have lived with and around those from the cultures, you never hear about them.
