Jason was kind of enough to treat me to a mini-break after my last exam. My choice? Wales. I have been dying to go there since moving here, and this was the perfect opportunity. Of course, since it was my choice, I picked something that would only matter to me. Hay-on-Wye. Hay is famous for ... BOOKS! There are over 40 secondhand book stores in this tiny village. The village also hosts a massive book festival once a year that attracts everyone, dignitaries, celebrities, commoners alike! We didn't go during the festival, but I was dying to see this quaint hamlet dedicated to reading! So on a rainy Friday afternoon, we hired a car a set out for the weekend. A road trip and books! My idea of heaven!
Jason is standing in front of an old castle. You can see the tiny village behind him!
Here is a picture of the old castle that Jason is standing in front of. The books are just outside, unmonitored, on an honour system. All the shelves were priced at £.50 or so...there were so many bargains to be had! (By the way, if you were wondering what is at the top of the stairs? More book shops, of course!)
