[BC] Cyrmu: Barry in Wales

[Scott Fybush]

I treasure my airchecks from my 2002 visit to Wales. If you've never heard 
the Welsh language in action on the radio (and ever since the BBC World 
Service discontinued their Welsh-to-Patagonia service, it's pretty much 
impossible in North America), you're missing one of the more unusual 
experiences out there. It sounds like something akin to listening to 
someone clear their throat for several minutes at a time - albeit with 
jingles and traffic reports and so on, all interspersed amidst the broadcast.

At the risk of going off-topic, I hope Barry's itinerary includes a visit 
to Portmeirion, the resort where "The Prisoner" was filmed in the sixties. 
I think it was the most memorable vacation I've ever taken, anywhere!
