Well, I am back in Galway after a quick weekend trip up to Northern Ireland. The main goal was to see the Giant's Causeway, and it was very cool. We had perfect weather, and I took a zillion pictures. I haven't uploaded them to the computer yet, so you'll just have to wait a bit for those.
We stayed both nights in Belfast. One of the people from my program who went with us knows people from Belfast, and we met a few of them for dinner. The guy, Sean, took us back to our hotel and gave us an impromptu tour of some of the areas that have been heavily impacted by the fighting. I guess I didn't realize quite how real the feelings still are and it was eye opening. Not all of my thoughts are probably good to share on a public blog, so if you want to know more, we'll just have to talk.
Tomorrow we head to Inisbofin, an island north and west of here. It's supposed to be a strenuous hike, and I think my clothes will soon be falling off of me. I'm eating, but I've been walking so much that it doesn't matter. Not that I'm really complaining!
I promise more pictures sometime soon.
