Neyland, Pembrokeshire, Wales: 17July 2016
Day 17

Mimi, our friend from Kaiserslautern, arrived today.  She'll be here for about four days.  Like Justin and me, Mimi is also at a juncture in life where everything is changing.  She has resigned from her faculty/staff/advisor position in Clinical Social Work with Salisbury University/University of Maryland and will now be traveling-adjunct faculty.  For Mimi, this means she shows up on weekends every couple of months to teach and in the meantime, she can live anywhere.  With her ailing mom in London, she'll have the UK as a springboard for her exciting and robust travel plans.
After I picked up Mimi from the train station in nearby Milford Haven, we went home to get Justin and then headed for a drive and then a walk along the Coastal Path at Barafundle Beach.  Our AirBnb host, Ian, indicated this area was "almost like a resort."  We weren't sure what that meant and we didn't see it when we got there but there was no question that the area was beautiful.  Gemma also enjoyed the outing.  She got some time off lead and while she usually stays close by, she took the opportunity to take off after some birds.  She went way too far for my comfort level and stayed gone way too long.  Doesn't she know she is a little princess dog and is supposed to be sitting on a silk pillow?
