We are in our hotel in Dublin! It's pretty nice and very close to the center of the city, but best of all, it has free wi-fi access! So I'm using Marissa's computer to finally post some pictures!
A side street in the city of Liverpool, England, known best for being the birthplace of the Beatles.
One of the many murals displayed on the walls of Belfast. Although this one is rather neutral, many are paramilitary in nature.
One of our hosts in Belfast plays traditional Ulster-
Scots music at the Ulster-Scots Agency.
Some ancient walls at the Stonewall Jackson ancestral
home place.
A traditional multi-room, thatched cottage, which would have been common among the ancient middle-class Ulster-Scots, is displayed at the Ulster-American Folk Park.
A decorative wall at the Bushmills Whiskey distillery, where we were able to see the whiskey-making process and try the finished products.
An amazing view of the Giants Causeway, a rocky cliff and beach on the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland.
A beautiful view of the Dunluce Castle, again on the Antrim Coast.
A view into one of the impressive chambers of the Belfast City Hall, which is undergoing massive renovations.
The front of Stormont, the Parliamentary Building of Northern Ireland, in which Unionists and Nationalists debate.
The enormous dry docks in which the Titanic was kept; a little known fact is that the ship was designed and built in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Some pictures displaying the construction of the Titanic are erected in the building in which it was designed.
Three young girls danced to traditional and contemporary Ulster-Scots music at the Robert Burns dinner.
An image of the Carrickfergus Castle.
The Cathedral Church of St. Colomb, the first church built in Europe after the Protestant Reformation, is situated in Londonderry, a historically and presently divided city.
An image of the oldest pub in Dublin, the Brazen Head, which opened in 1198.
Well, there you have it! I'm not sure how much we'll be able to post in the future because of the Internet availability, but thanks so much for reading the blog!
