It was cold and rainy today, but we still had a really good time. The drive is really scenic on the way to Conwy, the town in North Wales that we went to today. Green rolling hills, some beautiful ocean views…it was a nice drive. However, we did think it was odd, there were signs that read “BADGERS” by the side of the motorway. And then we started seeing RV’s pulled over on the side of the motorway with “Good Food” written on the side of them. They were selling food on the side of the motorway in Wales! Seriously, you are going 70 mph and on a little tiny pull off there is food for sale. So, was it badger meat that they were selling? Not sure, but we were not going to stop at a roadside meat wagon for a badger burger. So where did we eat lunch? McDonald’s of course. We have now eaten at a McDonald’s in England, Scotland and Wales. I guess we are proud to be...American tourists. We made it to Conwy and first stopped at the Conwy Castle. It was the biggest castle we have been to so far and it was very impressive. We went all the way up in some of the towers (there were 8 in all), which led to some great pictures. After that we walked through the little seaside town of Conwy. It is a quaint cozy little fishing village and we really enjoyed walking around for awhile. Most of the signs are written in Welsh and English and hubby said it was funny to see three or four consonants in a row. We would see a word that had three L’s in a row at the beginning of the word. It was a quick visit to Wales – in and out in one day, but we are glad we got to see a little piece of it. If we had more time, we would have made a return visit, no doubt about it.
