| The Gallery of 8-11 Oct. 2005 |
| I realized the other day that due to data transfer limits, I can't put anything remotely hi-res on here. So I have a separate Kodak account where I'm putting more and better quality photos. Just follow this link, and click where it says "View Photos without signing in." |
| The keep of Castle Cardiff. |
| The interns began our trip to Wales the morning of October 8, 2005. Depicted here is a Welsh flag, but not the official Welsh flag (which is a red dragon on a green field). This one was hanging in Castle Cardiff. |

| A view from the parapet |
| The Cardiff skyline from the castle. |
| You can see the Millenium Stadium from here. |
| ...and a new low in castle touring (but note the anachronistic juxtaposition of badminton, castle walls, and artillery). |
| The Tower of London keeps ravens; Cardiff keeps peacocks. I guess it's just a matter of preference. |
| A carousel at the town centre. If only the "Crazy Bus" hadn't been taken...guess the fire truck will do. |
| Mining has been a staple of the Welsh economy since the beginnings of the industrial revolution |
| We actually got to tour some of the mines but for safety reasons could only take pictures outside (no dry cell batteries in the shaft). |
| The mountains are gorgeous |

| Well, I'll let you be the judge. |

| This is just a lake atop a mountain. There are some great falls around here as well. |

| And there are free ranging sheep all over the place. They outnumber humans 30:1. |

| The day after I got back, a number of us went to the UCL Freshers' Ball. It was a lot of fun. I'm not even going to try to name everybody in the picture, but the ones I hang out with most include Jude (3rd from left), Thomas (7th from left), Steve (right behind Thomas) , Chris (far back), Rob (barely visible between Steve and me), Asher (in front of me to the right), and Alex (2nd from right). |
