C: I lost my tooth in a grocery store, and then in the canal, when we were going in the right direction, I lost the £1 I got from the tooth fairy, when I threw it in accidentally when I was feeding the ducks, and it bounced off a duck's bill.
The tooth fairy here pays £1, which is two dollars in the US!
Mom: Do you think Wales has its own tooth fairy, or is it the same one as at home?
C: Its the same one. he goes around the world, collecting the teeth and builds a castle with the unsatisfactory ones. The ones he likes, he puts on a pedestal on display.
[Note from Mom: We flew from sunny Bordeaux France, into rainy Liverpool, on Ryan Air, which we'll write about later. We stayed at a Premier Inn in Chester, which is much like Motel 6, but the rooms were nice and big--double rooms for families for the same price. We didn't spend too much time in Chester, as it was raining heavily. We picked up our Narrowboat in Trevor at 3pm, and headed over the viaduct. Ooops, after about 3 miles of bouncing off the sides of the canal, as we were learning how to steer a really heavy, long, steel boat. As it started to get dusk, we got out the map, and realized that we went the wrong direction! So we got up this morning, and headed back the correct way to Llangollen. We rode a real welsh steam train, and even got to get up into the engine and see (and feel) the coal compartment! Real coal fired! Wow!. Now we are sending this from a stinky, greasy, fish and chips cafe in Llangollen. No access on the boat for the next week. Everyone is having a nice, calm, boat trip so far. Very slow paced and relaxing.]
