Into the North!

I am currently in Northern Ireland for the next couple weeks, and I am afraid that my blogs wont be as frequent as they were while I was in the Republic, as internet access is not as readily available and we'll be very busy while we are here. Its already been a busy couple of days en route to Belfast. Two days ago, we boarded the train for Dundalk, on the border of the Republic of Ireland and the North, which still remains as part of the United Kingdom. From there, we took a bus along the border, into South Armagh, where we stayed at the foot of Cuchulainn's Mountain in a hostel. The following day, yesterday, we spent the morning hiking the Ring of Gullion, and then proceeded on to Armagh city, where we visited the Cathedrals of St Patrick and the tomb of Brian Boru, last High King of Ireland. We then continued on to Belfast City, where we got settled in to dorms late last night, and attended classes today at Queen's University. Tomorrow is another day of intensive classes around "The Troubles" and after that, we'll have the weekend to explore and experience Belfast hands-on. I will post pictures and more blogs as soon as I can, so stay tuned!
