The neighbor’s kids are all back in school. The maple and chestnut trees are trading their green coats for much more colorful ones. There are still a few fine days left, but before long we won't dare leave the house without a sweater or a jacket. We’ve decided to take advantage of the calm before colder weather sets in and take one last end-of-the-season road trip. We’ll drive to Wales to see the Irish Sea, Portmeirion, and Caernarfon Castle. I don’t know how much of a language or cultural barrier I should expect. Welsh sounds like Greek to me, and it looks a lot like Polish. They’re both very frugal with their vowels. I’m told most people in Wales are bilingual and only speak Welsh when they want to annoy the English. As we’re not English, maybe it won’t be a problem. O na byddai'n haf o hyd! Oh, that summer would last forever!
