Strange Men.

Soo it's been a lovely day in Caernarfon!
 Tara and I slept in and just chilled out this morning...which was NICE! 

And then we walked around and just scoped things out and did a bit of shopping...played the tourist card fa shos!!! Got some nice postcards and a few presents for a few people (I won't name any names because then I'll just get 323,470 emails asking what it is...polllllllllllllllllllly Im talking to you!). 
It was nice just to get to walk around town and just enjoy the city.





After a short rest, Tara and I set out to have an interview with someone, and that's exactly what we did!! We were just walking down a street and there was this adorable old man in his front yard, and so we just went ahead and walked up to him and asked if we could interview him! I stumbled over my words a bit at first but once we got started it was really good! He was really nice and willing to talk to us. He wasn't Welsh, he was English, but he gave us some good insight, and one of his neighbors is a former mayor of Caernarfon, and he said he would be very willing to talk to us some time...SCORE!
It was AWESOME!

Tonight Tara, Allison (our hostelmate) and I went to Rhys' church (he's a local pastor that works with our program from time to time...Tara knew him from last year).
 It was quite nice!! 
The service was in Welsh but they had these headset things we got to use, where a man in the back was talking into a microphone translating what they were saying. 
It was really cool!!!
And then Rhys had us over for dinner along with a few others. 
It was lovely. 
Way to cook some lamb Rhys! 

Tomorrow, one of the girls we met tonight is going to take us to a protest in Bangor, it's about 15 minutes away. The protest is because the government is cutting funding for the Welsh speaking programs. 
SO RUDE. 
But that should be interesting...I've never protested before. 
New experiences!

OH, just one interesting story before I go for the evening. So last night the three of us went to sleep around 12ish, and at that time it was just the three of us. So I roll over around let's say 9ish.....well there was someone else in the room with us. 
A BOY! 
Yep, there was a boy in the room with us. 
WEIRD.
None of us know when he got there or when he left, or WHO THE HECK HE IS. 
ITS A LITTLE FREAKY. 
CORRECTION: A LOT FREAKY. 

The Lord will protect us. 
Pray for me!!!!
