August 27
Now it’s the next morning and I’m taking the bus to Conwy.
The girls: (they hear me talking to the bus driver) Are you from America?
me: Why, yes I am.
The girls: (teeheehee TeeHeeHee) You have such a cute accent!
me: I live in California.
The girls: (now you have to throw your hands up to your face like the guy in The Scream, and emit huge squeals of delight) OMG we want to LIVE there!
The girls moved to the back of the bus chattering away. Later I went back and asked if I could take their picture to show my family and friends that they thought my accent was cute. They said SURE and positioned themselves exactly like this without a single direction from me. Too adorable or What.
