I left a thank you below on the Welsh pronunciation thread, but didn't want it to get lost way down there. Albion, Gwen, Mari, and others I may have missed - I so appreciate your suggestions of places to see in and near to beautiful Wales. Websites, history tidbits, you guys are the best!!! And if any Penman fans have found themselves captivated by this 13th C time period, and are looking for further detailed history, Marc Morris has a very readable biography "A Great and Terrible King: Edward I And The Forging Of Britain". Even though Edward is his subject, you kind of get the feeling the author was sad that Llywelyn was defeated! PS: If I'm ever lucky enough to get to Wales, I am not even going to try to pronounce the names! :-)

I posted this on the original post below by mistake so this is repost - You're welcome Holly. North Wales and Snowdonia are truly beautiful corners of the world. It is amazing to feel you are walking in the footsteps of Welsh princes. I really hope you get to see them one day. Let me know when you finally get to visit and if I'm free I'd love to meet up.

I just read the discussion below, and Iona's post. Thanks, everyone. I'd love to go on that Wales trip with you. I was in Llangollyn (sp?) many years ago and I remember it as one of the most beautiful spots on earth. (I couldn't come back to Southern California, though. That would make me jump off a cliff.)
