Belfast and Scotland - Pictures soon!

I hereby promise to post pictures of my recent trips to Belfast, Northern Ireland and Edinburgh, Scotland.

In the meantime, I'm back in Cork preparing for finals, which begin in May. After 2 papers and 3 finals, I'll be coming home! (Hopefully with a couple more trips in between)

I went to Belfast April 14 - 17 with Maggie and Liz, her sister. We saw the political murals, took a black taxi tour, went to Giant's Causeway, saw the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, and walked around Derry/Londonderry.

I just got back from a 3-day trip to Edinburgh in Scotland with Tracy and had a brilliant time. We went on a 3-hour walking tour of the city, got really freaked out on a ghost tour of the underground vaults, ate sushi, visited the Writer's Museum, went on a bus tour of the Highlands, and went on a boat 'round Loch Ness. And oh yeah, saw a picture of Nessie on the tour guide's camera. I loved the bagpipers on the streets, the rugged mountains of the North, and the gifts I got for my family.

Don't worry - I'm working on the photos!
