An eccentric Italian-inspired village in North Wales,
Portmeirion was on my
"I want to see it but have no idea what to expect" list.
Designed and built by architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis
between 1925 and 1975,
it felt a little bit Disney, a little bit like an artist colony,
and a little bit like SIAS, the school I taught at in China.
We arrived early and got to explore the colorful buildings,
gaze at the misty high tide,
and, most importantly, ride the "forest train"
without crowds.
