I'm in Belfast. Today I saw Giant's Causeway, which was breathtaking, similarly to the Cliffs of Moher. & then we went to Derry. I just. I can't write about it in any meaningful way at all. I'll try, later, with photos & all, I'll make a big post for the weekend. It was sort of overwhelming. I came back very damp from rain & with colder feet than I've ever had, my camera full of pictures of murals and marches that can't really explain it either.

Obviously I need to do this more.

Derry is my favorite place in Europe. I'm not good at words for it, though.

I wish I could have spent more time there....

I saw the Cliffs when I was 10 and the Causeway when I was 11, and they both showed up in my fiction for years and years afterward. (We were also in Belfast over Easter weekend in 1996, and there were riots down the road from our hotel. That was an interesting trip.) Powerful, potent place, Ireland -- but I don't need to tell you that. :)
