Worldcon Trip Day 39: Carmarthen Pride
Aug. 31st, 2024 08:22 pmNo train trip today, although I did take some train-related photos for use with writing about another trip later. Today we went to Carmarthen, where we started with a historic church.
( St. Peter's Carmarthen )
As interesting as the church is, that wasn't why we were here. We went by the church because it was the point where participants in a march were forming up.
( Parading through Carmarthen )
The weather today was just about perfect. No rain, but not too much sun or heat. I'm glad I wore sunscreen, given that I seem to get sunburned in the dark, I'm so sun-sensitive.
Later in the day, I had an excellent lunch at The Warren in Carmarthen. This award winning restaurant comes highly recommended.
We did some various types of shopping, socialized with others who participated in the events, and generally had a good time. It wasn't something I'd done before, but I'm glad that I attended and I was happy to be invited to participate. There are surely much bigger such Pride parades, but Carmarthen is smaller than Fernley, and I know that an event of this size in a town the size of Fernley would be significant. The town and the merchants seemed to out in force supporting this event, and I thought it was fun.
