And the world's longest place name is...

"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantysiliogogogoch". The name means "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave." And yes, you guessed it, it's a town in North Wales. As beautiful as that is, it's making me a little apprehensive about trying to learn some of this language before my trip! Try saying that 3 times fast...
