CARDIFF: My Favorite Trip Yet

Sadly, as revealed by this violent graffiti, the city of Cardiff has a very serious gang problem.


The second half of our Saturday trip took us to Cardiff, "Europe's Youngest Capital," the largest city in Wales, and the cleanest metropolis I've ever laid eyes on. The entire center of the city is designed for pedestrians only, so it's really easy to get around. There are tons of quirky and wonderful shops.



Allegedly the world's first record shop. Favorite find: Depressed Celts, Volume I





Various city scape.



Many of the windows in this chapel were dedicated to the deceased Cardiff-born soldiers of the first and second world war. I particularly liked the inscription on this window: "when you go home, tell them of us and say for your tomorrow we gave our today."



Apparently, in Cardiff, people who wait are much thinner than people who cross with care.



More city. Green green green.


This....is a hot pink limo. Obviously.






Cardiff Castle!








Cardiff Castle.........AGAIN!







Various Civic Welsh buildings, exhibiting large classical sculptures.










A building!! Probably full of offices! Possibly full of workers! Possibly full of joy!
