A Day of Information and Reflection
... about what the troubles were about, and about what can be seen to this day. We had a very good guide who gave a totally balanced perspective – we couldn’t tell whether he favoured one side or the other. At the end, he told us that he had been raised in the Protestant part of the troubled area of the city. Things are by no means resolved to this day. Belfast is still very segregated in terms of Protestants and Catholics – they live in different parts ...

A Better 2nd Half
... qualifies as one. Refreshed, we drive out to Carrickmacross and seek out The Fiddlers Elbow, for both the reviews and the fact that we have it’s doppelganger in Salt Lake City. We can't miss the opportunity. Set menu with chicken for me, fish cakes for Angie. The place is big with plenty of seating and a nice bar area.
