Hey everyone, I'm sorry it has taken me a while to write this blog but finding computers has not been easy. Day 4 was our last day in Northern Ireland, and we traveled to Belfast to check out the city. It was in Belfast where we ate lunch and were given the option to spread out around the city. I chose to eat at a small cafe with John Paul, Kevin, Nick, Frank, Dustin, and Johan and had a delicious sandwich which consisted of chicken and stuffing.
After that, we took a tour of the Belfast City Hall which was very interesting as it had a lot of history. Our tour guide was excellent and it was a good experience. There are excellent pictures from there, including Coach Kemmy in his King's seat. After that we started to make our way back home with some side stops. We first stopped at the place where the Titanic was built in Belfast. A local resident told us this joke while there "People used to ask where the Catholics were while the Protestants were building the Titanic.” The answer is, “They were all busy building the iceberg."
After that we traveled about an hour south and visited New Grange at the Boyne Palace. It is a structure that was built 5000 years ago and has been restructured to still exist today. It was literally a little tunnel you crawl into created by rocks all over the place. We then ate at a local restaurant. Joey Holbeche and I each had a delicious burger there and the food was very good. After that we traveled to Dublin and spent our first night at Paddy's Place. It is a similar hostel that is run by the same company. Hope all is well and I hope you all got to watch my Boston Bruins win the Stanley Cup in the states for me!
