August 9- Pond and Pembroke by Shawn
A very different deed started the day. A strange blight has hit southern England. A strange pond weed not known to this part of the world has set in qand prospered in little ponds because of the hightened temperatured in the UK this summer. The small pond at Ffald-Y-Brenin was overtaken with the green weed. The crew from Oregon wanted to give a sacrifice of service during their trip. For two hours they stood knee deep in the pond and halled out a pile of weed that was 15 feet long and 3 foot high. They did the work no one else could have. May Christ meet them in a special way for their sacrifice.
The afternoon was spent at the ancient ocean side chapel of St. Govan. Cave exploring seemed to take precidence. We ended our day at the massive Pembroke Castle. Again, a great day of exploration.
