Wales

Welcome to Wales in Welsh and English!
Cardiff Castle

Mantle sculpture in castle

One of the ceilings....

and another ceiling, all with gold leaf!

Welsh dragon captured the boys but they were able to escape!

This is at St. Fagans Historical museum with old buildings moved from different locations in Wales.  This was a pigpen and dry stacked stone fence. 
The boys at at telephone booth.

This was a grocery store. The display was for crackers and cookies (which they call biscuits)....you didn't buy by the box but could buy as many...oras few...as you wanted.

This is hard to see but was a TV with a magnifying lens underneath that you could put over the screen to make the picture larger...and only in black and white.

This was the school house. If the spoke Welsh they would get punished (whipped with a cane)...and if were left handed theyhad their left hand tied behind their back so had to use their right hand.

This is the Celtic village

We then went over to the coast to see where our friends like to surf.

Here is the Nash Head light house and fog horns.

Look how big the fog horns are in relationship to the people!
