Betws-Y-Coed, Wales

      I'm in Europe!!!!!!!!  Even with all those explanations marks it still doesn't show how excited I am.  Today was my first full day here and it's already my favorite vacation.  I still can't believe I'm here.  I'm in Wales in a town called Betws-y-Coed.  It's a quaint little village that's lusciously green, and has sheep everywhere.  I love being surrounded by people with British accents.  I've loved talking with the locals and getting a feel for their culture.  It's interesting hearing their stories and learning about their life.  Everyone is warm and very helpful to us.  Which is nice because we've needed lots of help.
     Today we hiked Snowdonia Summit.  It was a mountain to them but a hill to us.  While on the hike we saw ponies, sheep, and mountain goats.  After the hike we went to a little castle that was build in 1230.  First full day in Europe was a success.

Highlight: Visiting the Dolbadarn castle.
Lowlight: Getting hit on by a Russian that spilled beer on me.
