The chapel in our village.

In every village there is a chapel and a graveyard like this one which is in our village of Llangain. Notice how the grave stones are all standing upright and are not lying down as so many of ours are in the states. This is just around the corner from where we live. I think these old churches are beautiful.

Oh again, I wish I was there! I miss the history and the beauty. the grave yards and castles were my favorite...you could just feel the history!

Isn't it interesting how the history of the people is still evident in the people of today?

That's great that you found some American food! Yeah for McDonalds...we felt the same after eating the countries food for a couple weeks.

Oh yeah...Dad...we found out when we were there that TESCO is owned by Walmart and in the small little towns it is normally the biggest supermarket. Just thought you might want to know:)

Love you guys!

I loved the little churches and churchyards in England. My friend wanted to go walking around one of them at night... you know, the kind where the gravestones are so old, they've got moldering moss covering the name and the stone boxes encasing long-dead inhabitants are sort-of crumbling? Yeah... heck no way am I walking around that place at night!
Love the castle!!!!
