Castles, castles and more castles.....

Just when we thought we had seen them all.....

We went to Caernarfon. We were told it was grand, but in fact it is larger than grand. It is here that the future king is confered the title of "Prince of Wales." When his father becomes king the next in line receives this title -- so when the current Prince of Wales, namely Prince Charles, becomes king, William will become the Prince of Wales and he will crowned such in an elaborate ceremony in this massive castle. I guess if you've got a few castles, you might as well use them..(just a little English trivia!)
We had gone to the Isle of Angelsey to speak at a ward fireside. This is about a 2 hour drive and since it was Friday evening, we stayed overnight and made our way back via this castle.


Look out President! Those things could be dangerous!!!





How's this for a view from your balcony!




This is a pix of the last coronation when Prince Charles became the Prince of Wales!!


Honestly, who needs stage props when you have a backdrop like this! Hang a few banners, put up a canopy for rain and you're there!!!
