HyperLinks for Welsh and MWSC Students

The above webpage has hyper-links to webpages that have been used to help people better understand Wales.

How to Use the Images on These Pages

On each of the images below and on the other Wales pages, first click the image with the mouse.  This will produce a larger image.

After you click the above image, notice the button or icon on the bottom right corner.  When the button is clicked, again the image will become larger.  In fact, with many of the images the 2nd click will produce an image that will be larger than the screen.  Move the vertical and horizontal slider bars to see the entire image.  And, it just so happens that with this example the button on the bottom right corner will not make this particular slide larger.  If we all cross our fingers, maybe it will work on the remaining Wales pages and photos.  :)

After viewing the image, click the return button on the top left corner of the page.

For the past several years students at Missouri Western State College [St. Joseph, Missouri] have taken an international internet delivered course.  A "special relationship" has been developed by elementary students who have "key pals" in Wales and college students in St. Joseph, Missouri and Wrexham, Wales.

The instructor from North East Wales Institute [NEWI]  visited Missouri three times between September 2001 and March 2003.

On my way home from Russia in the spring of 2004 I visited Wales--- what a delightful visit.

This series of webpages will reflect "what I saw"  in Wales.  My camera was pointed to points that  interested me  --- another person visiting the same place at the same time might "see" different things than I did.  The images on the attached webpages have been edited and selected from the 750 digital photos that I took.  Already I know "what I forgot" to take a picture of several things I saw.

Use the items on the left table to link to a particular theme related to Wales.

On this set of webpages a "thumbnail" size image will be used.  To increase the size of the image, click on the image.  To return to the webpage, hit "back" or "return" on the top left corner.

So, sit back and let your fingers and your Internet Explorer give you a tour of Wales, United Kingdom.

Where is Wales?

The first question that we might have is "where" is Wales?  [Notice the spelling of the word  "W a l e s"  rather than "whales."  Wales is located on the western part of the island of Great Britain.  When the map on the left is opened, notice that Wales is to the left of the vertical red line.

This map will present the southern and western part of Great Britain.

 

The largest town in the general area is Wrexham.  The daily side trips in Wales started in the village of Llangollen.  Find this village on the map..... south and west of Wrexham.

Notice on the map where the United Kingdom and Wales are in relationship to the United States and Missouri.  Wales is quite a few miles north of Missouri.

Where was Home for A Week in May 2004?

[Finally we have an image that will work.  When you open the image below, wiggle the mouse to see the icon that will again make the image larger.]

The Four-Poster Motel    

Where did we start from each day:  the Welsh motel known as The "Four Poster" It is a small family run establishment situated in the heart of Llangollen. Converted from a row of 17th Century weaver's cottages, it has great charm and character providing centrally heated en-suite rooms with Colour TV, Trouser Press and Tea/Coffee making facilities, some with Four Poster Beds.

Peg had traveled on an overnight flight from Atlanta, Georgia USA.  I was returning from Russia via Germany and had slept all night in the Amsterdam airport.  We had not been at the Four Poster five minutes when Andrea asked if we wanted a cup of tea.  While we are drinking tea, Roger is taking our luggage up stairs.  A great welcome to some very tired travelers.

What is it like there?

Just like other "places" in the world, Wales has some very unique characteristics and some that are very common to elsewhere in the world.  We will first see photos of Wales that will give us an idea as to what it looks like.  Wales:  What it looks like.

 

Any of the hyperlinks located as underlined text on the green margin to the left will move the reader to a new webpage.
