Bellfast.... A trying day

Today we woke up BRIIIGHT and EARLY and walked to meet the UCD group in city center to drive up to Bellfast.  It was a 3 hour drive on the "motor way" and we stopped half way for a full Irish Breakfast complete with blood sausage.  Once we got into the city our tour guide showed drove us around and explained the whole North versus Republic conflict that was still relevant in some deep ways today.  Bellfast was no Dublin, as it was much cleaner, more spread out, and overall more affluent feeling.  I prefer Dublin for many reasons.  Also we visited parliament and toured that building.  It was a funny day of crazy tour guides and some rather huge meals.  Overall the countryside is absolutely stunning and pictures do it no justice.  Being the idiot I am I forgot my camera today, but Kyle took pictures that I will throw up here tomorrow.  For now, I'll put up some pictures from last night....the ones I can show that is (cough cough).
