Dolgellau is next to the coast of Wales in Snowdonia National Park. It was home of the first Quakers before they relocated to the States. There is a small museum commemorating their journey of faith. Monique and I decided to check it out.
About 10 minutes into our stay, we were overtaken by a class of Welsh students on a field trip. They stared at us and discussed among themselves (in Welsh) who we could be and what we were doing there. It was fun to listen to them speak the native language. There was a time in recent history when it was forbidden by the English to speak Welsh. It's good to know that it is currently being taught in schools.
We headed out to see the coast. We found a small bay to explore and stick our toes in the water.
We continued our drive along the coast and pulled over to take some photos.
It was there we met a mother and son out for an afternoon drive. He lives about 70 miles south near Cardiff and drives up once per week to take his mom out for honey ice cream. She lives in a retirement community down the road. She reminded me of my Covenant Manor residents and made me miss them! They invited us to join them for honey ice cream, but we declined. I now don't remember why. I will be on the lookout for honey I cream and remember these two.
