And thank you to...


And thank goodness for Davey's amazing photograhy skilz...because of him, we have amazing memories recorded.

...and finally Wales

...and we finished our trip with one of the most beautiful scenes we've seen in our lives. We took a train from Conwy, Wales to London where we stayed in the Earl's Court Hostel, where we started out, and we flew out of Heathrow the next morning. Train rides are great for appreciating what you've just experienced and we continue to appreciate every single experience we participated in. We both felt free, light and so refreshed. We were and are inspired to live life differently than we were when we left and we continue to cherish those moments the UK gave to us and our relationship. We are forever changed because of the month we spent in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The Uk really gave us growth and energy within ourselves and gave us the kick start to bring new energy to our lives. Thank you to all of you who supported us through our journey.

more wales...

...we couldn't walk on this part of the wall because of the instability...

Wales


...walking on the castle walls...and...

And then there was Wales...

We took a ferry from Dublin to Holyhead Wales and then took a train to Conwy Wales where we stayed for the night in the most beautiful bed and breakfast yet and in the most beautiful town. The town is surrounded by the castle wall which is hundreds of years old, originally built by Edward I (longshanks in Braveheart) when he was attempting to take over Wales. We spent the day touring the castle.... and...

We loved the Irish!


This was as close to "friendly" as we got to any of the Irish. We had to go to a schlocky, really cluttery Irish gift shop to get any love from the Irish....and he was plaster! haha.

Dublin Castle

This castle is in Dublin and is much younger than most of the castles that we'd seen so far. It is right in the middle of the city and is used for offices now. But still is part of the royalty and was originally put up by the English royalty that invaded Ireland. I don't know too much about the history but it was an incredible building.
