Over the weekend we went to Wales to explore the Gower Peninsula as Britain's first "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)." John interview the AONB supervisor for an article he is working on for comparative environmental law.
Lisa, Laura and Julia went straight to the hair salon for some good Welsh haircuts. Well done! "It was lovely" as they say in Britain. Then we went to La Tasca for some tapas. Nothing like good spanish food in Wales.
John drive us around in a rented black BMW with a stick shift he had to use left-handed and drive on the left side of the road down very narrow roads. Very challenging but he managed to get us around the peninsula with the car and us intact.
After spending some time in the city of Swansea we drove about 30 minutes to the southern tip of Wales to Oxwich Bay where we were staying for the night. Our hotel was right on the beach so we took an evening walk. We were so lucky as there was no rain and the sun even broke through the clouds.
The Gower Peninsula in Wales is known for its grey limestone cliffs and pounding surf. We saw many kite surfers out on Friday night and Saturday. This area is known for it hiking, walking, camping, surfing, extreme sports.
