England #2

We went to see Conwy Castle in Wales. It was built in the 1100's by Edward I and is the most complete castle that's still standing. The architecture was amazing! There were big towers with narrow passageways and ruins of the royal apartments. The chapel was very beautiful in the fact that it was intact. It was very simple in terms of the fact that there wasn't amazing carvings or anything. But you could see out the window into the harbor. And yesterday we drove around Summerset and saw areas that my ancestors had been in. I could almost see myself stepping into their time period in these small villages they lived in.
The next couple days we will be travelling around the country doing more family research before we will be in London. I'm so excited to go to London and see all the sites there. I want to see the Albert and Victoria Museum as well as the Crown Jewels, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, etc. Stay tuned for more!
