Tricia if you read this thanks for your snacks they saved my life today :) I still have more to nibble on.
We decided we should visit Northern Ireland, so we jumped on a train and headed for Belfast. If you think Dublin accents are hard to understand, Belfast accents are much worse. The dialect is stronger. Plus, we had to get more money, we are in the land of pounds.
We met a cab driver who worked for the military as a driver and drove the likes of Clinton, Powell, The Queen and Lyndon to name a few. Interesting dude. His fav. was Clinton. Go figure. I got some other scoop too.
We are in another Hostel...this one is called Farset and it's definitely far set from the city. It's ok, but I won't be fondling the top blanket (not that I have problems fondling blankets or anything).
We ate at one of the oldest buildings in Belfast....I dropped a large pile of salt on my food....the pepper and salt are almost the same color....ok not really, it was dark and I'm a tard.
We are beat...a full day of walking and carrying a 30 pound pack makes you tired. Tomorrow morning we are going to something called the Giant's Highway on the coast. I keep calling it Monster's highway.
Peter is trying to perfect his Irish accent and is driving me nuts. Currently, I'm listening to him snore...hahaha.

Did you take a tour of Phoenix park? If not, Oisin the deer can help you get around. See http://www.araskids.ie/html/house/
Was Mary McAleese home? I didn't even know she was the president. I see that her birthday is the day after Payton, Mary Kerr and Joeys. Your trip is turning out to be a learning experience even for those of us who aren't there physically. Of course, we are all with you in our hearts.
