Onwards to Wales

Well we've left sunny England for raining Wales on our way to Ireland. Thank you England, we had a wonderful time. We got to see a lot of the mountainous Welsh countryside from the train. It was very pretty with rocky outcrops and covered in wildflowers. We got to meet a couple of very interesting Welsh guys on the train fresh out of prision on their way home. I'm not quite sure what they did to get into prision, but they seemed very pleasent on the train ride. I would have to say their accent was so heavy ot was hard to make out what they were saying half the time, but if all ex-convicts are that nice around here no wonder their isn't much murder crimes, just low level crimes. At some point in my life we should come back and do some hiking. We're staying tonight in a town on the coast where the ferries have been going back and forth from Dublin to Wales for probably a thousand years or so (I was told the story about 7 years ago so I don't really remember the details). Anyway we walked around the harbor and town for a little while until it started raining pretty good and then went back to eat. Tomorrow we sail for Ireland!
