BAM!!!
52.6064° N, 3.8695° W
BRON-YR-AUR

You do not find Bron-Yr-Aur unless you really want to, very badly.  There is no address and no directions.  You have to first find yourself not only in Wales, but smack dab in the middle-of-nowhere, Wales.  Then you have to find an unmarked road (following instructions from internet: “turn left after gas station, cross river, turn left again, go down 250 yards, turn up hill that is unmarked.”  Then you have to walk up into the hills for 20-25 minutes by foot (no cars allowed – too steep, turning to gravel road full of sheep), cross through several sheep gates, down another path, take a fork in the road, then begin trespassing to reach it.  Brenda has more proof that I am crazy.  The kids just bitched about the steep hill, the threatening rain, the sheep poop and the purposeless of the destination.

But, one must suffer for one’s art.
Bucket List? Check.
