Too many L's?

A fellow from Wales visits places in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware that are named after places in Wales and writes about them.

He doesn't address my pet theory that when the Pacific islanders sailed from Micronesia to the Hawaiian islands by raft, they encountered a storm in which most of their consonants were blown overboard. They were later found washed up on the shores of Wales by the thrifty natives, who put them to immediate use.
