Visitor round two!

finally we drove through Belfast.  This wall keeps two neighborhoods completely separated....i've seen this now a few times either on the tour bus in Belfast or with Richy giving tours to visitors...it really is hard for me to wrap my mind around.  I drive Richy and I'm sure his family crazy asking questions about all the troubles in Northern Ireland, but it really is such a complex issue...that the questions will keep coming I'm sure.
nothing like climbing in castle ruins
attempt to get a group shot!
weather was so much nicer than the last time I was here with my parents and sister..

Giant's Causeway..it doesn't look it but we are on a mountain of these rocks..
at the giant's causeway...Cristin and I got stuck up on the rocks...kinda like climbing a tree and then you are too scared to get down! Exactly what happened to us..
Crossing is actually scary...obviously not for Richy though
Rope bridge..in Northern Ireland

Dinner at Millers

love the smoking ban in Ireland..cept don't love on a pretty day sitting outside all you smell is smoke...notice women in background!

As I mentioned before Cristin Lane Glover Groce came to stay with us in Dublin.  We had a great 5 days.  She wasn't jet lagged really cause the flight was so short from Newark to Dublin so the minute she was off the plane away we went! We spent some time in Dublin shopping for art, seeing the sites, eating in fun restaurants, and hitting a few pubs.  We also worked in a "hen" party in Armagh for one of our friends.  What a night! We then spent our last day touring the north coast with a quick spin through Belfast on the way home!  By the end we all had bags under our eyes! It was so great to spend time in Ireland with Cristin!  It is always nice for my friends to see what I'm up too across the pond.
