The next day, we were in Bellfast city. We saw the Bellfast wall, dividing the Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods, which is crazy to think still needs to be standing. The houses near the wall actually have metal cages covering the back sides of them. Many of the buildings in this area have big murals painted on them, supporting heros ...
