It's easy to start taking things for granted--my brain is so easily dulled to grandeur.
I'm glad I have emails from people back home to help jostle my brain back into wonderment about my common life here.
For a day field trip, my British culture class took us to Cardiff, the capital of Wales. Here is a bit of the city.
We spent the morning exploring Cardiff Castle. This is the keep.
It was a long, steep climb to the top. Here's the cityward view.
A courtyard inside the keep.
Cardiff Castle was built by Norman invaders in the 11th century on top of Roman ruins and has since had work done on it by many people. The only part of the original Roman wall left is the portion below the red brick.
There was so much more to Cardiff Castle, but this gives you a taste.
