A Fun Weekend in N. Ireland

It is our first sunny and hot day in Ireland today! as you can see I'm sporting my sunglasses and a t-shirt.

This is our walk down to Lisburn St. where all the shops are, it's about 1.5 miles away from our house. Today we were feeling very adventurous and we walked all the way to down-town Belfast from our house. We think it was a 4 mile walk, but we were walking for a couple hours.
Shops on Lisburn St. It has really nice boutiques and restaurants.
Lindsey, myself and Rachael pose on Lisburn st.

Queens University. I would like to walk around the campus more and get more Pictures.
On Sunday we traveled to CarryickFergus and visited the Castle there, about a 45 minute train ride from down-town Belfast. It was a beautiful train ride on the way there, and it traveled along the Belfast Locke. This picture was my favorite because you can see cows and the Locke.
CarryickFergus Castle, it is right on the Belfast Locke (it opens up into the Atlantic Ocean).
I'm posing on the Castle wall where a Cannon is sticking out of.
This giant chess set looked like a lot of fun to play with. If my Dad was here I would defiantly have to play him in a match.




Inside the Castle Walls
I'm sitting outside of the Castle that is outlooking the Ocean. I wish I had Benny here with me to pose in some of my pictures :)
I took this picture from the top of the Castle. I just love how every town in Ireland has one huge church and as you can see the Church Steeple towers over all the other buildings.
I really think I should own stock in the Company or earning Endorsements for Mc Donalds. I always seem to find every Mc Donalds no matter where I go. I will say that this Mc Donalds DID taste different from at home.

We started school on Monday so I have a busy week ahead of me. We are planning on going to Giants Causeways on Wednesday, which is right off of the Atlantic Coast.
