Day 5 06/05/12: Ferry to Wales, Snowdonia

Do you prefer the city (Dublin) or the country (Snowdonia)?

I normally would prefer the city and the tall buildings, but in Ireland and Wales, I preferred the country side. I really liked seeing the mountains of Snowdonia, the sheep, all the green land, and the natural water streams. I don't think I liked Dublin as much as I could have because of the fact that Dublin didn't really get dark. Because of this, they didn't have all the bright, city lights that I look forward to seeing in urban areas. Also, I talked about this in my other journal entry, but my experience in Dublin was pretty scarring. I liked the relaxing mood in Snowdonia and I really enjoyed seeing all the residents with their dogs. It made me think of my dogs hahah. I appreciated the city and all of the shopping stores (♥). I also liked the cobblestone walking streets of Dublin. I also thought that the Dublin Spire was pretty neat as well as its phrase of "the stiletto in the ghetto." I thought that Snowdonia had a lot more to see and that the natural beauty of the mountains were gorgeous. If I had to choose one, I would choose the countryside because of its nature, as well as the fact that the events in Dublin, and the people we met in Dublin were not that nice.

Summary of the day & highlights:

Today, I had a short breakfast at Belvedere Hotel in Dublin, slept most of our ferry ride to Wales, saw the mountain peaks of Snowdonia, saw MANY sheep and cows, glanced at the "Ugly House," and slept most of the way to our hotel. Also, we visited the town of ChurchofMaryofWhiteHazelNeartheFierceWhirlpoolandtheChurchofTysilisbytheRedCave :)! The highlights would be seeing beautiful Snowdonia, and our group's #YOLO picture in front of the store we visited.
