Susan Found Zero Leprechauns in Armagh...

Susan decided to give the reins over to me once again to fill you in on the latest news of our tour. We left Cork, Ireland, and headed back to the United Kingdom for our destination in Armagh, Northern Ireland. On our way there, we stopped for a few hours to visit the Rock of Cashel. Pictured below is Susan and Sam Willodson, '11, at the Rock. Don't they look cute together?

We arrived in Armagh and enjoyed a free evening in and around the city. Thursday morning we all piled into the buses and headed to Belfast for a bus tour. Our tour guide filled us in on the city's history relating to the conflict and violence it's seen over the past 40 years. Thankfully, peace prevails today, but tensions linger nonetheless.

Pictured above is our concert venue in Armagh: St. Patrick's Cathedral. Located on a hill, I spent the intermission of the concert taking in the beautiful view of Armagh and the countryside. Our audience included the Deputy Mayor to the city who said a few kind words of welcome at the end of the performance.

This morning we headed to Dublin and spent some time sightseeing, but those details will wait for the next post...
