Worms Head *Video - Gower Wales

Took a trip to Worms Head out in the Gower a couple of weeks ago with some friends. Gower is the peninsula that sticks off from the Swansea to the east. Here's a map to get you acclimated...

We went to the furthest point called Rhossilli which is know for its great surfing. It's only a short bus ride from the Village to get there, and it was uber warm and sunny that day (for here, in February at least!) There's an island that snakes off of the coast that's called Worms Head. Apparently there's a two hour window that where you can walk out to it. That's where I made this video... (and where I took the new header picture up top. sweet!)


And we got to play with this super cool lab name Blodwyn which is a traditional welsh female name I found out from the old man who owns her and who works at the ranger station (I'm not really sure if they call it a ranger station out here, but anyway), and who lives in a tiny town in Gower that his family's been in for over 300 years. crazy.
Here's a video of playing fetch with the doggie (man, i miss subi!)...

beach / gower

I sleep with my blinds open at night in the hopes that the sun will come out in the morning and wake me with a wave of light. As you can imagine, it doesn't happen too often here, but it did this morning, and since the sun is out, im heading to the beach. So here's some recent beach pics of the bay here in swansea and some of the gower that i took when Tim came out and visited this last week, so you can appreciate what ill be appreciating here in a bit...
