There be Wales here

Wales, in addition to having their own traditional language (Welsh) that is interesting even if they use entirely too many consonants to get their point across, has some spectacular scenery. As we left Cardiff, we headed north through Brecon Beacons National Park.

It started out raining...hard.  I usually bring good weather with me (my superpower) but I was a bit concerned that maybe it didn't work in Wales. Soon the rain slowed, then a spot of blue came and while a little late, good weather found us. Once the sun came out, the mountain views were spectacular. Lush green forests giving way to barren grassy mountain slopes. There is another thing that Wales is known for...sheep. They were spotted all over the valleys and grassy mountain sides. Coming from a place where beef is king, it is unique to see so many of the white fluffy things...everywhere. It further established the perfect pastoral ideal in my mind. This is the Britain I am falling in love with.
