Last day in Ireland

Yesterday was our last day, we traveled around the northern coastline and saw the most breath taking scenery imaginable.

Snow on the beach!!

Irish coastline

Today we went to the northern most tip of Ireland. It was so cool because you could see Scotland from the coast!

Captain Collie

Welcome to the UK

Belfast style.

Got a glimpse of the Belfast protest!

Not to worry, I wasn't close, but it was still pretty cool to watch

Belfast

Our first stop is the Titanic Memorial Museum. The Titanic was designed and built in Belfast, but largely funded by American, J.P. Morgan. Today we've seen how and where it was built, records of passengers and their fates, a look at the first discovery in the Atlantic in 1985, and debris recovered. I'll post as pictures of the exhibits that allowed photography.

Heading to Belfast!

Today we're going to the northern tip of Ireland known as Belfast. Unlike the other places we've seen, Belfast is not part of the republic and is still loyal to Britain and the Queen.

It's Maggie's birthday!!!

To mom and dad:

I promise this is the only jail I've visited while here!

Dublin, eh

The Road to Dublin

Today was a very long day...a five hour bus ride, beginning at 8 am my time (3 yours) with two stops and 30 grumpy girls. But, alas, we have made our way to Dublin!

Going to Dublin tomorrow!

Moving our way north!

Told you.

Best food ever.

Blarney

So...I was too afraid after climbing to the top of the castle to hang upside down and kiss that darn stone. I did kiss a stone in Blarney, at the bottom of the staircase when I survived, haha.
