Wales

From London we went to Wales, and Tudy says, we used every form of transportation on the trip except helicopter and submarine!  Wales was so beautiful! Unfortunately we didn't even get to see the seacoast.  We loved Cardiff Castle, the owner during the time the O'Neil's were in Wales was the Marquis of Bute who was a member of the Oxford Movement and did the major renovations of the castle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_Castle Wikipedia has some good pictures.  One thing I did accomplish was getting to the Cefn Coed cemetery to take a pictures of the monument for Thomas and Mary O'Neill Owens (our great great grandfather Bryan's sister).  It took two days because of a little misinformation and lots of rain!  But I have Vaughn Williams and some of the cemetery crew to thank for helping me find it.
