Two weekends ago, went to Wales (Snowdonia) for some hiking, hut-living, and playing in the sun. It was perfect weather. We arrived friday night in Caroline's mighty little car, tromped about 500 yards to the cabin and made ourselves right at home. Sunny, but not too hot. We made soup:
traditional Bulgarian soup, with stinging nettles. by Antoniya
Normal soup stock (potatoes, carrots, onions)
Trim the nettles to just the new tips.
Add the nettles toward the end.
Turn off the heat, and working quickly take a bit of broth out, and add a touch of vinegar to this.
Beat in an egg quickly so the broth runs smooth. Broth should be hot, but not boiling or the egg will cook - it should "melt" into the soup.
Perfect!
Then hiking all day saturday, with spectacular views and weather (see the Flickr site for photos). Fabulous dinner at the pub where Peter had reserved a table for our weary, merry group. Then we set off Thai lanterns Peter had: they are paper cylindrical lanterns and they float into the sky under the power of a little bunson burner. Beautiful. Slept under the stars, and realized too late that the sun now rises around 4 am.
All around great trip and a highly recommended location for outdoor fun.

No bed bugs or creepy ole' men on THIS trip to Wales?
Nope! It was fun, sun, and charm all around. Could be the location, though: North Wales is picturesque!
