My grandfather was born in Wales, my father lived in Wales for the last 25 years of his life, and I have visited the country at least a dozen times. As a part-Welsh American, Wales is the country of my heart.

Wales countryside at dusk, when they sky is as pretty as the landscape.

My folks lived in a 200-year-old house near #Meidrim

Here is a view out one of their windows toward the lovely #welsh countryside

When I was a kid, I was not cynical at all.

As a teen, I realized the world was full of people who would take advantage of me given the chance.

As an adult, I had to make a choice:

A. Be cynical by default so nobody could take advantage of my open nature.

B. Remain optimistic, accepting that some people would take advantage of my openness.

After some soul searching, I chose B.

I never regretted being open by default. I look at the world with optimistic eyes, and it’s been a better life.

The New Inn in #Meidrim #Wales in 2009, with my dad and stepmum strolling the main road of this small town.

The New Inn has changed hands and has a different name now (shoulda been called the Newer Inn).

Just down that road is the Meidrim C P School (#ysgol).

Where’s the rest of Meidrim? Yer mostly lookin’ at it.

It is amazing how #Nature as #artist reveals itself to astute explorers on #hiking trails. Objects, phenomena and processes are awaiting discovery!

Today's sentence: Bydd llawer o eira heno.

I am using Google as a crutch, to add bits to what I think I know. I barely know any #Cymraeg - yet! Writing a sentence a day in this friendly and safe environment is already moving me forward quickly, and this is only the second day!

In honour of the Snowdonia National Park Authority's decision to refer to the highest mountain in Wales by its Welsh name only, here is Yr Wyddfa as seen from Aberystwyth on an exceptionally clear November day some 6 years ago.

Rugged hills meets ocean, with charming town in between.
