Pembrokeshire Part 2

On our first day of hiking we set out at about 8:30 and found the trail head without too much delay. At first we over complicated things by trying to use a compass but eventually used that tried and true method of just following the big sign we eventually noticed in the middle of town.

Day one featured extremely varied terrain and colder weather, but wonderful views. If you've ever seen some of the dramatic running scenes in "Braveheart" then you can picture the kind of rapid elevation changes and cliffs that we walked over. The area was certainly as beautiful as it is made out to be, though I suppose I was expecting something different and that harmed my impressions. I think I would have enjoyed it more had we not tried to set such a fast pace. I would have had more of a chance to enjoy the scenery.

The rest of the group are members of the official study group, so they are all looking forward to their coming assignments and travels. My coming weeks are different so I couldn't participate in those conversations. We did talk about other things like home, chores, high school, freshman year. I found out that for three days Kristy lived one floor above me! Well, she moved out because she didn't like Stillman. I can't blame her.

A link to some pictures will follow in a later post. I think that they will better explain my weekend than any words.
