Wales of Fun

Ah, yes, finally a computer.

I arrived in Wales last Tuesday, after a hell of a time in London. Thank you Patrick for putting up with my tourist tendencies and taking me out for a night of british pints.

Wales is absolutely green. Lots and lots and lots of green, and it wonderful. I am volunteering for the Camarthan County Council. There were 5 other volunteers that arrived on Tuesday as well, and one more that arrived today. Along with the 4 leaders that makes 10 of total, and I am the only one that speaks English as my first language. Its pretty amazing really. The countries that are all represented are Canada, Austria, Germany, Wales, SOuth Korea, Georgia (the country), France, Slovenia and Uganda.

As far as work goes, Ive spent 2 of the last 6 days laying turf in some of the parks (keeping Wales green), but the rest of the time we have spent visiting all the nearby beaches, laying in the sun and walking around castles and hiking through the country side. And can I tell you that I love sheep! There are sheep everywhere and you can just walk through the pastures with them.

And I dont know what anyone was talking about when they said it was going to be rainy and gross in wales, because it has yet to rain. Its been absolultely gorgeous and I am getting a nice little tan.

So, I have to run now because the only internet access we have is at the library in town, so I have limited time to use the computers and I still have to figure out where i am going next on my trip. Hope everyone is doing well.

Happy early birthday to Kristin!
