Yesterday was an interesting day. We journeyed to Derry which will be our home for the next semester! Our first stop in the walled city was a stop to meet the Mayor of Derry. He explained to us some of the things he does and I was shocked to find that he was only 27 years old. After meeting the mayor, we took a walking tour on top of the walls of Derry. It was really interesting to see all the places that we learned about last semester. Our tour guide Tony made it even more interesting with the stories he provided to go along with the tour.
Once taking care of some house-keeping at the University of Ulster, we headed back to Corrymeela for a night of some fun. We had a real taste of Ireland when we went with two of the locals who are volunteering here at Corrymeela down to the Pub. I had my first PINT of Guiness. It actually wasn't that bad! Then I tried Magner's which is like an apple cider which was nasty. We also tried a pear flavored drink which ended up being pretty good as well. ** EVERYTHING WAS UNDER CONTROL! lol
