last night we had dinner at belfast castle, which is owned by the city council and has a nice little restaurant inside. after dinner we walked around the grounds a bit and i took this picture from the garden looking out over the city and belfast lough (pronounced the same way as a scottish "loch," though this is the ocean, not a lake).
today we drove an hour to the north coast to a place called giant's causeway (learn about it here - thank you, wikipedia). it was a beautiful day (well, by standards over here - which i agree with) - in the 60s, cloudy, but no rain - and we spent an hour or two walking around and loving the rocks.
hooray - claire and i!
SUCH a cool place to go, and we had a great little walk out to the rocks and then around the area, with lots of breezes from the sea and great views.
we're back and nick and jen's house now, and nick's making dinner (curry - yum). in other news, i have successfully memorized the six counties in northern ireland (antrim, londonderry, down, armagh, fermanagh, and tyrone) and the four provinces on the island of ireland (leinster, ulster, munster and connacht), so nick says that i'm doing just as well as a 2nd grader. go me!
tomorrow morning claire and i are off to our next location: enniskillen, northern ireland. more from there!
that looks sooooo cool-thanks for the great photos
