What amazing place to experience! So alive with history, mixed in with modern life. I found it so very calm, yet; full of pure chaos. I got to enjoy this amazing place with Mary, Mea, and Michael who are awesome, incredible people. Also, i got experience my first train ride which was pretty nice especially since we got to see so many beautiful views.

We went straight to the Cardiff Castle after the train trip. No words can describe how beautiful this castle was to me. Every turn was a new adventure. Everywhere i went i felt the history all around me. I learned so much, but left knowing i had only learn half of it...actually not even half.

The King and court could seek refuge in it.

One aspect that interested me the most was the language. Everywhere you went there were signs in welsh first then next to it were English signs. Such a twist to see English being a second language. Especially, being in the UK.

Our next destination was The National Museum. Where i freaking got to see Rodin's "The Kiss". WHOOH!!!! love this sculpture! One of my favorites from Rodin. Then to top it off i got to see a real Van Gogh painting not one of his hugely famous ones but still its a Van Gogh.



Then we finally got to the best part of the day!! Doctor Who Exhibit!!!! Lets just say that only a true Doctor Who fan could appreciate this exhibit! Mea and i are officially nerds!!!

Cardiff was definitely a worthwhile adventure!!!

Church Exploring...

I decided to go and try out Trinity Church, the other day, which is affilliated with the Church of England. It was different and enjoyable. It is more common for youth and young adults to go the evening service here. This was nice, mainly; because i got to sleep in :).

I almost fell out of my seat when one of the pastors stood up and welcomed all the need attendees and offered all of us a free drink at the pub. Oh i forgot to mention, after service is over, everyone to goes to a local pub and hangs out. I found this so interesting one because it is so unnatural a for a church in America to actually imbrace drinking let alone go to a pub as church social event.

Besides, that unique difference i found the church loveable. I think i might go check out some other churches before i settle down. Please, keep me in your prayers because i really hope to find a home church while i am here.
