I enjoyed very much this journey through Wales: beatiful landscapes and nice encounters.
There are some interesting aspects of Wales: the life in Cardiff (the university town-with 4 universities and about 50.000 students-, Spike Griffith and the Cardiff Art Institute, Faye Chamberlain, the photographer and her portraits, the music concert at Tommy's bar and the singer David Charlie Duke), the Welsh language ( official language since 1988, the cultural identity of the Welsh people, Trystan Lewis and the Maelgwn male voice choir, Rochard Booth and the castle-bookshop of Hay-on-Wye), the Center for Alternative Technology at Powys, Montgomeryshire ( Harriet Wallis the volunteer, the water-balanced funicular, Patrick Borer-one of the founders and architect of the center-, Tanya William, one of 15 people who lives in the community), the island of Bardsey (the farmer and boat captain Colin Evans , Steve Porter and his family who live all the year on the island, Joana Porter , the mother and teacher of the children, Ben the son and the photographer of migratory b¡irds, Rachel the daughter whom makes drawnings of the seals and the landscapes of the island), Iolo Jones, the sheepdog trainer (the importance of the sheepdogs in the sheep breeding) and Kristoffer Hughes ,the druid of Anglesy (the Celtic monument, the spirituality connected with the nature nd the magic wand).
I enjoyed the encounters of Jérôme with Rhiannon Michael ( the Millenium Stadium, the Bute Park and the National Assembly, the talk about the Welsh identity), with Robert, Tracey and Deon Mota (the rugby training), with the two girls in Crymych (the "Esteddfod" ), with Bethan Gwanas (her great sense of humor, the village of Portmeirion, the walk to the lake), with Twn Elias (the visit of the slate mine), with Glyn Davis , the photographer (the excursion to the dunes and the beach of Anglesey), with Philippa Jacobs, the painter and with Ben Etchells-Rimmer and his friends at Ruthin.
