Alright on the Easter long weekend Allie, Britt and I went to Wales to meet up with our friend Nick and some of his friends. We were all going to stay at a hostel and do a little hiking for the weekend. Well Nick lives in London so we figure hey you know what a good way to get there would be- take a 12 hour over night bus through wales, down to London only to have to drive back up to Wales to get where our final destination would be. Ya brilliant idea ass hats. The bus was terrible, but we got there, and in the same day I enjoyed my first ever journey on the London Underground- it was stuffy and old.
So anyways us girls, Nick, and five of Nicks Polish friends rented a min bus to go up to Wales. Fantastic! what a trip we took our time and arrived at the hostel on Saturday evening. The hostel was beside a place called Swallow falls, but most of our companions referred to it as swollen falls- really you can decided for yourself which is worse. We then retired after a few night caps and prepared for what we thought to be a casual hike the next morning.
WRONG
the casual hike was actually climbing the biggest mountain in the UK outside of the Scottish Highlands- WTF. I was wearing jeans and running shoes. There were actually parts on this hike were I was ranting curse words and basically figuring out how to tell everyone I wasn't going to keep going without looking like a fat slob. In the end we all made it to the summit. I actually was so pissed off but the pictures that I scored on the summit pretty much made it worth it:
I'm actually crying behind my sunglasses filled filled rage and angst.
That night we went to the pub in our hostel and got tanked. The combination of exhaustion and sheer anger really drove us all to ingest cocktails. There we met a couple English guys who proceeded to tell us how everyone referres to the Welsh as "Sheep Shaggers". One of them then went into vivid detail of who they accomplish this shagging of sheep. Please ask for details if you wish to know- it involved big rubber boots and the edge of a cliff.

It was nice that you guys brought your ouija board (I googled the spelling) to the top of the mountain. Did you contact any ghosts while you were there?
PS Tell Brit that Montreal lost 4 in a row to Boston and it out of the playoffs.
