Explore This! Swansea, Wales

 Today, we are heading to the south-west coast of the United Kingdom, visiting the city of Swansea, in Wales. I know we had taken a look at some Welsh castles in a previous post, but we get an in depth look at one of the more well known places in Wales.

I have been reading Joe Dunthorne’s Wild Abandon, which piqued my curiousity about the city. Swansea is known as the “City by the Sea”, and with these pictures, you can totally see why.

Looking quite tropical (and completely contrary to my imagining 
of all British areas), this beach looks like a great place to relax.

An artfully composed picture of living by the water.

I even found a …

The Short Winner Post

Hey Everyone!

Another sunny Sunday and I am happy to report that the wonderful summer weather still holds: yesterday afternoon I read put in the sun and even got a tan! Imagine sunbathing in October, I’m amazed at the beautiful weather and hope it holds for a few weeks more 🙂

Other news, as of yesterday I’m on study leave to prepare for my first bar exam and won’t be back to work until November, the only challenge besides having to learn and review all that amount of books and laws is that I’ll have to seriously limit my time online, because we very well know how once you get online (and check e-mails then Twitter) it just sucks hours off your day. *le sigh* But as long as it’s sunny outside it’ll be easier to study. I hope.

Anyway, today I have only one winner to announce (but don’t forget to …
