I originally wrote that I was looking forward to seeing the streets of Belfast but 'looking forward to' didn't sound appropriate especially linked with this chapter and all the heartache and bloodshed. You know what I mean though? Just to be on the streets and feel and think about what Casey et al went through would just bring things to life for me in a different way. -- Cindy's Cottage

In reply to: celtgirl 's message, "Belfast is pretty quiet these days, other than the Marching days in July- and the occasional murder, etc. It's actually a 'small' city, but the architecture is lovely- lots of Georgian brick. I don't know how much we'll see on the bus tour, the one bus tour I did there whipped through the neighbourhoods that I wanted to see so quick, that we didn't even get photo ops. However, things are a lot quieter than that time so it's possible they will be more flexible. Part of the reason I'm taking the two days upfront in Belfast is that I want to make sure I visit the places that are relevant to the books." on 12:21:52 07/22/09 Wed

I have a journal entry from my last trip to Belfast, Tracy that is all about walking with Casey that day- I swear I felt like the boyo was with me all that day, I really inhabited his world even if we were thirty years apart in time. (NT) -- celtgirl, 18:39:29 07/22/09 Wed
- Wow! That's the kind of thing that I want to experience but I dont think it would be on the same level as you of course but just to "feel" things is one of those experiences in life that I love to have. (NT) -- Tracy, 09:48:39 07/23/09 Thu
