Some Cute Conwy Castle-ness...

We got back from a two day trip to North Wales last night, then enjoyed a bit of New Years Celebrations before catching soe much needed z's.

We visited three castles: Conwy, Caernarthon and Harlech.  They were all built by King Edward I, which means that they were all built in Wales by the English in order to keep the English safe from the Welsh.  Wierd.

Conwy was my favorite castle, and I posted some pictures of it above.  The wall is still almost entirely intact, and we walked all the way around town on it.  At dusk.  It was wonderfully picturesque.

Where are the pictures of this wonderfully picturesque dusk-ness, you ask? 

I don't want to talk about it.

Well, ok.  I'll tell you.  All the cameras we had on us (three total) ran out of batteries at pretty much the same time.  I started taking photos with the videocamera, but there wasn't a memory chip in there to store them, so the camera just made a little clicking noise without actually taking a picture of anything.

Cute.  Real cute.

Instead, I took videos, and plan to take still images from them at a later date.

Sigh.  I hope my plan works.

On a more fun note, there was a mad orange cat hanging around Conwy Castle.  And I mean literally, almost hanging.  He decided it was a brilliant idea to hunt pigeons that were chillin along the ruins of the castle ceilings.

I am really glad he didn't over estimate and jump right off.  That would have been horrible.
