Shwmae Alison, Tiān iawn? Dw iān edrych ymlaen i gweld dy blog oār Wladfa.
Hi Alison, I am looking forward to seeing your blog from Patagonia. I enjoyed your video from la Tasca in Cardiff so between the two languages youāll be fine. Querio hablar espaƱol tambien. I know you are going to have a wonderful time ā¦so enjoy and letĀ“s hear all about it. Pob hwyl. Menna
Hope you both have a wonderful time, Alison! Look forward to following your exploits. 
What Jon T says.
Mwynhewch!
Are you going to be conversing in Spanish or Welsh? 
Both, Iād assume.
Ceidi hwyl
Weāll be āusingā both, and also English (loud and slow of course!), and gesticulations! But just in case we are not understood, we have a guide from Teithiau Tango to help with communication and travel.
Helo Alison,
Shw mae heddiw? Gobeithio tiān iawn.
I recall that you told us about your intended trip to Patagonia. I managed to find your blog just recently and enjoyed it very much. Thank you. Did you manage to post any photos by any chance ā¦if so where would I find them, please?
No, sorry! I never did post them! However, if you are in Cardiff you are welcome to see them. When I have a little more time (in about a month I hope!) maybe I should try to make them accessible by invitation, but at the moment they wouldnāt be of much interest as they have no titles!
Patagonia is well worth a visit - especially if you have any connection with Wales or geology. We concentrated merely on the Welsh connection, but a geologist friend went much farther south to experience the unique geology and was bowled over by it.

Shwmae, Since last we spoke we are all set to visit Ariannin/Y Wladfa /Brazil, leaving next week. Will be able to celebrate Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant out there so really looking forward to it. Hopefully will also get a chance to say a few words in both Welsh and Spanish. Of course it is important from our Welsh perspective and also from the Geological pont of view - the Museum will be very interesting Iām sure. Matthew Rhysā book which I picked up at the Eisteddfod last year, had been an inspiration. Thank heavens for digital cameras I say, couldnāt ppossibly wait for films to be developed! Pob Hwyl,

Have just returned from 3 weeks in South America, Y Wladfa and Rio de Janeiro. We have had the most unforgettable experience of a lifetime. Seeing incredible scenery, meeting wonderful, friendly people, enjoying good food and company. Diolch yn fawr SSIW and Teithiau Tango.

Oops! I forgot to mention, we also met this fellow en route to Gaiman. He hasnāt been named yet but is the largest dinosaur to be discovered in the known world.
