The Northern Ireland Assembly

Well this week we got to move into our permanent residence for the remainder of our time here. We're staying at Holiday Homes and the view from our backyard is Dundrum Bay and the Mourne Mountains. This photo is my view :) (but when the tide is out, the bay is completely empty and it's just a mud field...



This week has been quite relaxing. On Tuesday we went to Belfast to celebrate a girl on our team's birthday. We went to "The boy in stripped pajamas" which is a really sad movie, but very well done. After that we went out to dinner and then on home to get ready for class the next day.

Yesterday, we went to the Northern Ireland assembly; Stormont. We got to meet with members of the UUP (Ulster Unionist Party), the Green party, and Sinn Fein (the nationalist party) and we got to hear all three different opinions government, parliament, and the troubles in northern Ireland. It was really cool to hear about everything going on, then after we got a tour. Here is our team at Stormont.



After we got back to Dundrum, we hung out for a bit before going to Kareoke! It was so funny. This week we're going Dublin for an art tour, and then off to Nottingham for fall break!! i'll post more next weekend! bye friends!
