The Crown Bar, one of the oldest in Belfast
Pretty outside of the Crown
The windows to the Crown
It used to sit next to the railroad and since it was unsightly for a lady to be seen in a bar they sat in these secluded booths, and when they were ready to order they pushed a button and a flag went up to get the waiter.
The ceiling
That sign says no football jerseys allowed, due to fighting between Protestants and Catholics
A really old church down in City Centre
If i remember correctly, this bar is where the plots of overthrow were first hatched in the 1800s
Above the door to White's Tavern
A pretty mosaic showing the alleyways
White's Tavern has been in business since 1630 serving beer and wine to the ships that passed through
The Leaning Clock of Belfast
The street where the first Bible was published
Authentic Irish Coffee, kept me warm for about an hour.
Random Fountain thingy
A mural of the "Troubles"
The Leaning Clock of Belfast
A really cool chess set, apparently the figures represent important political leaders, I don't know who though.
I loved the directions. Male: Seat Up; Female: Seat Down
My first McDonald's Meal, pretty much the same as at home
Inside one of the booths at the Crown Bar the next day
The inside of the Opera House, I got a dirty look from the usher for taking this picture. The Opera House is decorated in almost an African/Indian style with elephants and monkeys galore. It's really gorgeous. We say Juno and the Paycock (Peacock but spelled with an Irish accent) it was an amazing play!
Why we call our street Dog Sh*t lane, they don't exactly follow leash laws. However, these dogs are so sweet, right after I took this the German Shepard came over to get a pat on the head.
Now as I discussed before about someone writing on the hillside, here's my proof. We are now up to : IMAGINE A CITY...I tried to take pictures every day but it got to be too much and I missed a few letters

Hi Erica, So, so good to hear from you and I loved all the pictures and history. What a neat experience you are having. I know the time is probably going slow but enjoy each new experience as it will be something you will remember all your life. Love and Miss You, Grandma
