Hey all, We went to Barcelona just before we came home. We took a train to London and then flew from there to Barcelona, Spain. It was warm there, in the 70's. We arrived on Friday and then left on Sunday. It was nice there and it was nice that it was light out until after 6:00p.m. Usually it was dark by 4:00p.m. in Wales. We saw the Las Sagrada Familia. It is a church that is still being constructed and has been since the early 1900's . It was designed...

Hey all, We went to Amsterdam this past week. We left on Wednesday and returned on Saturday morning. We traveled by bus to and from the airport and took a plane to Amsterdam.

We got in late on Wednesday so we didn't do anything but find our hotel and go to bed. We went to...

Hey all, This weekend we went to Llanberis (pronounced Clanberis). We went by train to Llanberis, about 4 or 5 our ride and then by bus, another 40 minutes, to Llanberis. There was a delay on one of our trains so we got there later than we wanted. When we first arrived we searched for our hotel and walked needlessly up a giant hill. After we found it we went and walked around Padarn lake and then walked up to the castle. The stairs were scarier than the ones at ...

Hey all, Today we went to Chepstow Castle and Tintern Abby. This trip was amazing. It was so pretty in both places. Chepstow Castle is located on the river Wye, which divides England from Wales. We had a guide that was dressed up as a monk from the time period. He said he usually dresses like a knight or something similar at Chepstow but since he was also going to be our guide at Tintern he thought it would be more appropriate to be a monk. He was very knowledga...
