Last year, my wife and I made a trip to the UK-- several different cities around Wales and southern England. Beautiful fucking country. Anyway, I'm not much into the beer, but I do like the whiskey, and I had some nice samples for the first time there: Ardbeg and Laphroaig, perhaps? There was another that began with an "o" that I wish I could remember-- I don't think it was Oban, but I can't find reference to it. I had some in a little pub, around Ciliau Aeron (on the A482, near Aberaeron). My lord that was a great vacation. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
