Chester was such a picturesque town with Medieval walls and a 14th century cathedral. We took pictures of some of the shop signs b/c they were so unusual. This was the first trip to Wales for both of us & we saw how the locals are keeping their language alive. All of their street signs are in both English & Welsh.
We finished the day @ Bodnant Welsh Food Centre in Conwy, Wales. They gave a cooking demonstration & the food was great. It's been unusually warm (85-95 degrees) everyday in the PM which is a heat wave for them.
I forgot to mention the other day when we visited the Castletown House & when the owner, Penelope, was describing the portraits in the house she said, "those are just some of Giles' smelly rellies". We howled-what a great English phrase.

You are seeing WONDERFUL places!!!! So FUN!! That is really unusual weather for that area. It's usually chilly and raining. Don't you just love the "tea time" food. So good.
