Ireland Part I

So you all know that i missed my flight so this is coming into Dublin on the Ferry
 Notice the overcloud. its a theme among most of my pictures.

 These are pictures from my bus top tour of Belfast.

 The Titanic Museum is DEFINITELY one of the best things to see in Belfast. They apparently didn't talk about the Titanic because it was a HUGE national embarassment. But because most the people who were involved in making it have since died, they have made this museum. Its worth seeing.
 GREEN, GREEN, and MORE GREEN!!!!
 This is the parliament building called Storm Hill. theres a funny story that goes with it but I can't remember.
 Hee hee, Can you see the Moose. Thats right, Canada donated these lampstands on the way up to StormHill and they put mooses on them. :)
 CS Lewis trying to get into his wardrobe. He was from N Ireland. And apparently this is supposed to be his actual height. Wee small man he was.
 Belfast's Big Ben. Unfortuantely they built it on a swamp so its sinking and leaning to the right.
 The largest Celtic cross in Ireland.
 Did you know that there are only 3 universities in all of N Ireland (and maybe 2 in Ireland)????  Crazy eh?? This is one of the them and where most of the family went to. Queens University.
