Intervarsities
This weekend, I went to Belfast for volleyball intervarsities, a tournament for all the college teams in Ireland. The first day was actually Thursday, but I missed this since I was in Dublin for the Naughton's Thanksgiving dinner.

The ferry arrived in the port at 1.45pm and we went down to the car and got ...
The Belfast "Peace Wall"
... to describe what I saw. This wall was at least 30 feet tall if not higher, built in different materials of concrete, metal, and fencing at different stages as it went up. There were murals, paints, legitimate art, graffiti lining the entirety of the wall, which in this portion at least was at least a quarter of a mile, but probably not more than half a mile.
