Derry did it for me, too, Marilyn, along with that memorial at Omagh. Although I did like Belfast very much. I kind of knew that Derry would grab me after having read a number of things about it, but I did not expect to feel what I felt at Omagh. I'd seen the film and had done some reading about it, but that memorial is amazing. -- Cindy's Cottage

In reply to: Mahri 's message, "It was a huge honor to share Ireland with you girl, especially Northern Ireland. It's because of you and your books that most of us have the level of interest we do and some of the knowledge we have about the wee island and her history. So absolutely you and your books are a big part of this place. Like I said before, we didn't just decide to take a trip together and randomly pick Ireland *g* I had half expected to fall in love with Belfast but it was wee Derry that got me :-) Love Belfast too and the peace wall area really touched me, but I don't think we had enough 'walk about' time there...well not in the pertinent areas yea. I truly hope we can do this trip again someday and see more through your eyes. Thank You Cindy, for sharing your words with us :-)" on 16:16:09 10/08/09 Thu

The memorial was very moving. I was feeling poorly and didn't get off the bus to take a picture of the heart/crystal...whatever it was that the light hits...I hope someone else got a good shot. (NT) -- Mahri, 18:26:28 10/08/09 Thu
- I didn't get off the bus for that picture either; lots of pain that day. Can't remember if I already shared these sites or not. Here is a picture of the actual car that blew up. A disturbing photograph, taken moments before the explosion. The camera was found near the blast site, and no one knows what happened to the people in the photograph, although they are presumed dead. Click. And here's an explanation of the memorial: Click. (NT) -- E, 19:06:19 10/08/09 Thu
  - I got a good shot of it. I still have to get my photos either to you or try to load them myself! (NT) -- Denise, 21:30:06 10/08/09 Thu
