Day 8 Cardiff, Wales

Today we crossed the border into Wales.  I think Cardiff might have been my favorite place in the UK that we visited so far.  This is funny to me because when I lived here 20 years ago (for my student teaching) I took the train to Cardiff and got off the train wondered for a little while, ate some pizza, bought a cardiff dragon stuffed animal, got back on the train and went back to London.  I have always thought Cardiff was a pretty boring city-boy was I wrong...

I so loved that Clay wanted to read all the signs on the art work
John and Sage stopped too-for a few minutes

Will Clay let you through the gate?
