There be W(h)ales in these waters...
WALES!!!!!! What is there to say about wales? Well, let's list a few of the things: 1) The Castles are amazing! The castle we visited, Castle Coch (I was craving Diet Coke the whole time I was there haha) was fully furnished and pretty much had just jumped out of a fairytale. Not to mention, the surrounding forest was beautiful. It reminded me of the forests in the mountains back home but so much prettier. 
2) The beaches are heavenly! One part of trip took us to Northern Wales where we crossed a bridge to the Isle of Anglesey and stayed in the little town of Beaumaris. I think almost every girl would rate this her favourite (as the English spell it) part of the Wales trip. We stayed in The Bulkeley Hotel where Queen Victoria stayed so so many years ago. It was a hop and a skip from the beach which was lovely (although on parts of the beach there is quick mud, very similar to quick sand, and not too long ago 23 people died in it!). There was a cliff we could stand on and look out over the water, past Wales, and on a clear day see England. It felt like we were standing on top of the world.
3)
The Welsh know how to make houses! These are not modern day h
ouses, these were at the awesome outdoor national museum. They are what houses in Wales used to look like. The Welsh must have been short...so I would have fit in perfectly. Also, these cool houses had horrible heating. It was so hot in there! There was one tiny fireplace and the place was steaming! Not to mention the smokey smell did not make friends with my asthma. Haha Well....you'd have to see the rest to appreciate it. The countryside was breath-taking and pictures can't capture the beauty. But I promise if you ever go to Wales you will not be disappointed...unless of course you expected to see Whales because there are none. There are more sheep than people though! In the whole United Kingdom there are more sheep than people. Let us take a minute to observe the sheep (They are a lot cuter in person, I promise):
