Northern Ireland and Giants Causeway

Image
Today we went to Northern Ireland! We began our trip in Derry, Northern Ireland. This was especially exciting, as the tourist center had a plaque noting the importance of Derry and Londonderry, New Hampshire, USA (Nicole is from New Hampshire). While Ireland and Northern Ireland may be one in the same island, electronically (and actually), they are of different government systems. As a result, some students had some problems with converting from Euros to Sterling, but this was quick sorted out. Also, the conversion rate is a thing. Gerry gave us a tour of Derry and noted the important places in the city regarding The Troubles and the important landmarks. Belfast is a city separated into different sections.

This was where James Connolly was taken after he was injured, so that he cou...
