Excellent.  My wife and I have been to Wales.  We went to Pennygraig and 
some other places looking for genealogical information on my wife's 
grandfather.  On December 10, 1880 there was a gigantic explosion at the 
Pandy Colliery in Pennygraig, Wales.  There were 106 miners working the 
night shift and 101 of them were killed.  My wife's great-grandfather 
was one of the 5 survivors.  We have a Welsh bible given him by the 
townspeople in commemoration of his survival.

We had a great time touring Wales.  I distinctly remember Snowdonia (in 
June) looking a great deal like the Catskill mountains of New York 
(where we lived at the time) and of similar size.  That was a long while 
ago.  There are probably some K2 slides (shot on my OM-1) around 
somewhere but I'd be hard pressed to find them.  But do a Google search 
with [Catskill mountains images]  We actually lived in Woodstock, NY 
(yes, that Woodstock).
