the four other Ambassadorial Scholars in the district were invited to speak at the conference. We drove from Coventry, and it took about three hours through the beautiful English (and Welsh!) countryside. Llandudno is a resort seaside town, with amazing architecture, and amazing scenery. I walked on the beach (hooray for being around the beach again!), walked through the main street of downtown, and took a tram ride up the longest cable-hauled tramway in the UK, to the 697 foot summit of Great Orme. The wind tried hard to blow me off the summit and into the sea, but I fought back, stumbling my way through the wind and into the safety of a nearby building. There's some great 
photos of me with my hair standing straight up, and me trying to simply stay vertical... I'll post those as soon as I can get them. You'll enjoy it. The photo on the left is from the top, looking out to the sea. It was rainy and pretty hazy- but spectacular nonetheless. The photo below is on the trip back down, looking at the city. 
As beautiful as the scenery and town were, the highlight of the trip was the content of the conference. We heard amazing speakers, learned about some great projects that Rotary clubs in the district are doing, and met many new friends. And, most importantly, we achieved our goal: getting more speaking engagements arranged! With five ambassadorial scholars, each needing to give at least 10 speeches, that's a lot to book!
I hope you enjoy the photos I've posted. I'll get more posted soon.
Back to studying. :-)
