    City of Lions

    The last creature I expect to see on an island prowls the streets of Ponce, Puerto Rico. These statuette beings guard the downtown Plaza de las Delicias giving the town the nickname of "La Ciudad de los Leones”.  Here lies the historic century old Ponce Fire Corps known as Parque de Bombas. Built for the 1883 World’s Fair, the red and black striped building was the first fire department on the island. It now serves as a museum and is one of the most photographed buildings in Puerto Rico. The locals say, “If you don't visit the firehouse, you have not been to Ponce”...

    Carreg Cennen Castle, Wales

    There were no security ropes between us and Carreg Cennen Castle. No park rangers or security cameras (that we know of). At one time, like 800 years ago, there would have been arrows whistling past our ears and a deep moat to keep us out. The only obstacle on this day was the artillery of sheep turds left by the livestock grazing at the castle walls. Turns out, the family that bought the surrounding pasture about 90 years ago also took ownership of the castle itself because of a glitch in the deed.

    Bessie's Pub, Wales

    Confession time. I've lost count of how many pub doors we've passed through. It's not a big deal, really, because pubs in Wales are as common as Starbucks in the States. Each one is small and has its own local beer selection. Not like deciding between Coors and Michelob. But of all the limb-inspired pubs along the route (The Watermans Arms, The Huntsmans Arms, The Farmers Arms, Trewern Arms), the most memorable is this one in Cwm Gwyne: Bessie's.

    United Kingdom: Wales Dinas town

    The towns of Wales are the very definition of "tight communities." We've biked through a hamlet comprising six homes and walked through several others where a one-lane path is the only access in and out. But this has been the best bird's-eye view of Welsh life, up toward the Preseli Mountains above the village of Dinas. The parcels of land are broken into puzzle pieces, some fat and square and some as thin and truncated as an apostrophe, all sides separated by hedge rows. The soil available in the small parcels is usually just enough for the landowner to grow a few crops or raise a dozen sheep or so. But ...
