We arrived at Warrenpoint and were instantly met with that amazing Irish charm and hospitality. The people are just so friendly and it's such a contrast to the Italians. And wow...my English language skills have shifted so much in the last few months that I am still answering quick questions in Italian! I am going to load more photos later but I thought I'd get just a couple up while en route. We have stayed all this time in Warrenpoint, last night with Richard's cousin John and his lovely family. I think I found a like minded computer geek in John's son Matthew and he and I spent some time going over computer stuff. An Irish accent sounds even cuter on a little boy.
We stayed the first few nights at Ryan's B&B and it was fantastic. The breakfast was worth the money alone and they were so sweet. This whole driving on the other side of the road has been interesting and quite the adventure. Richard is getting the hang of it a little more each day. I only felt like my life flashed before my eyes a few times yesterday and we went all the way to Belfast. Richard wanted to see the ship yard where the Titanic was built and it was so peaceful. What a contrast to the contemporary history of Belfast to stand there hearing the birds and watching the water lap up to the sides of the platform. So much unrest in Belfast over the years and yet you didn't see a trace of it there.
So here I am...on the shore of Warrenpoint and the water separates the South and North of Ireland...Kinda nice to have someone around because then I actually get "in" a photo for a change.
