It was Sunday, so we went to LDS church services in Cardiff again. There were some missionaries leaving for home so the members stood to sing them the "farewell and come back again" song (I didn't get that quite right). And I couldn't resist snapping a phone pic in church.

And what do you do after church on Sunday? Why, visit ancient sites in surrounding Glamorgan, of course!

| We climbed over a sty and hiked across a field to Old Beaupre |

We visited a lot of castles on our trip (more to come!) and everyone was fascinating in its own way. There are a lot of stairs in castles so you have to be somewhat fit and healthy for exploring. Every stairway invites climbing and we have never been disappointed.

The same is true for ancient megalithic monuments. I would be happy to just die in one. Wait. I guess that's the point. They are some of the best earthly attempts at immortal remembrance; except that we've lost the names of those who were buried in these excavated chambers. Maybe I'll just keep going to church for more promising immortality. But these still haunt me.

St. Lythans invited the perfect setting for photographing our group.
And then these two lovely people.
