Roedd modd gweld dylanwad Cymreig ym mhobman. Ymwelais â Rawson, Trelew, Gaiman, Esquel a Threvelin ac mae’r Gwladfawyr cyntaf wedi gadael etifeddiaeth gadarn sydd wedi galluogi’r cymunedau Cymreig i oroesi a ffynnu. Ymwelais â phedair ysgol, tair ohonynt yn rai dwyieithog Cymraeg a Sbaeneg, tair amgueddfa a fferm hanesyddol (gyda’r dref gyfan yn ymddangos i estyn croeso). Gosodais dorch o flodau ar fedd Lewis Jones (sylfaenydd Trelew) ac fe gefais gyfle i fwynhau Te Cymreig yng Nghapel Seion ym Mryn Gwyn.  Hefyd cefais gyfle i weld ail-gread o’r glaniad gwreiddiol ym Mhorth Madryn, a chyngherddau yn Nhrelew a’r Gaiman ac fe dreuliais ddwy awr gyda chymunedau Gwladfaol yr Andes yng ngorllewin Chubut. Roedd yn hyfryd clywed y Gymraeg yn cael ei siarad yn eang, a gweld gyda’m llygaid fy hun bod bywyd diwylliannol Cymreig yn parhau yn yr Ariannin, diolch yn rhannol i lwyddiant prosiect y Gymraeg sy’n cael ei ariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru a’i reoli gan y British Council.
The influence of the Welsh could be seen everywhere I visited in Rawson, Trelew, Gaiman, Esquel and Trevelin and the early Welsh settlers have left a long-standing legacy that has enabled the Welsh communities to live on and flourish.  I visited four schools, three of which were bilingual Welsh Spanish schools, three museums and a historical farm (for which an entire town turned out in welcome). I laid a wreath at the tomb of Lewis Jones (founder of Trelew) and was treated to a Welsh Tea at Seion Chapel in Bryn Gwyn.  I also attended the re-enactment of the original landing at Puerto Madryn, concerts in Trelew and Gaiman and spent two hours with the Andean Welsh communities in Western Chubut.  It was wonderful to hear Welsh being widely spoken and to see first-hand the continuation of everyday Welsh cultural life in Argentina which in part is down to the success of the Welsh Language project funded by the Welsh Government and managed by the British Council.
