So today was our first class with our Trinity University Welsh teacher who is teaching us the history of Wales. He is really funny and makes all the history very interesting and easy to listen to. Just from the first day I know that he has a mountain of knowledge on not only Welsh history, but the town of Carmarthen and all of Europe. In just the first three hours of his class I feel like I have already learnt a lot, there is so much more to Wales then I thought.
After the class in the morning we took a break for lunch and then after we went for a walking tour of Carmarthen with the same teacher being our own personal tour guide. I haven't really walked through the town yet during the day just to walk and observe so I really enjoyed being able to do that. We were shown some of the famous streets, churches and chapels and then we went to my castle #2. It looks exactly the way you would think a castle should look. It sits right between a restaurant, a bridal shop and other stores. To see it now where it lies right in the middle of this modern town is very interesting. I guess to the natives of the town it might not be anything special to have a castle right in their own backyard because its been there their whole lives but for me I still enjoy seeing and learning the history of the architecture.
There is still lots to learn,
Jessie
