| The way to Wales |
After our quick stop in Bath, it was on to Wales
for a few days to visit with Michelle, a friend of mine who put down roots
there after our college days together. Because we stayed with her family and
not in a hotel, this was perhaps our most authentic European experience.
Michelle had many exciting plans for us, including a lively and engaging
personal walking tour with Nigel of Cardiff on Foot and a trek through historic Cardiff Castle.

 |
| The National Museum of Wales, and the starting point for our walking tour |
 |
| The lovely, flower-filled Gorsedd Gardens around back |
 |
| One of the many intriguing gargoyles on the walls surrounding Cardiff Castle |
 |
| The flag-lined path through downtown Cardiff |
 |
| The perfect amount of sugar encouraged us to eat more than our fill of these traditional cakes |
 |
| The most classic sight of the day: the Norman shell keep |
