Hello! This will be a short update as we're off to see Carrickfergus and see Nancy's cousins before we head back to London on Thursday.
Having a chance to slow the pace down a bit, sleep in and relax in N. I. has been terrific. On Sat. we travelled to Newcastle to take in a piping contest, complete with Highland Dancers and Drum Majors. It was quite the show and we heard LOTS of pipes!! We also went into Belfast to check out the Ulster Museum which has recently opened after a refurbishment. It was really good, lots to look at and learn about N.I. On Monday we got on a train to Dublin to check out as much of the city as we could in a day. It turned out to be a beautiful day, so we were actually a little over-dressed for the weather if you can believe it!
Yesterday we went back into Belfast and JR met up with an artist and was able to view some local galleries. He was definitely impressed with some of the works (Freud, Moore, Picasso), and Nancy met up with Meaghan to view some of the local shops.
Today's our last morning in Banbridge. Then off to Carrickfergus. Thank you so much to our hosts. You guys are the best!!!
Hope everyone is doing well at home!
all the best,
Nancy and JR
