Lovely people, and the most heartbreakingly beautiful place I have ever been.
I'll be back.
The Welsh word for that feeling is "hiraeth". A comfortable sense belonging there and a yearning to return. When I'm traveling in Wales, I hardly need a map. I never feel lost. Strange. Nice. I regret that Marxism and socialism have taken hold of Welsh society via the blue collar unions...principally the miners. Plaid Cymru (Welsh Party) is steeped in socialism. My love of the land and language is tempered by my intolerance for socialism.
Wales is a wonderful place to visit. I recommend the museums in Cardiff, including the Museum of Welsh Family Life. Carmarthen is a beautiful city too. The wool mill at Felinfoel Felindre is worth a day trip. I usually hang at at a bed and breakfast in Aberystwyth and visit friends and family in Cwmystwyth, Ysbty Ystwyth, Llanfihangel y Creuddyn and Devil's Bridge. The ruins of the monastery at Strada Florida is interesting as well. Enroute to the monastery, you pass through Pontrhydfendigaid. That little village is nearly all Welsh speakers. My cousins run a gift shop at Pontrhydygroes. It is down the hill from my great-great grandfathers house.
If you really like good Indian food, check out the Light of Asia restaurant in Aberystwyth. The chicken paloo is excellent.
Pob Hwyl!
