A Day in Belfast, Northern Ireland
Thirty years ago today, September 10, 1994, I got up early and took a train north from Dublin, Ireland, across the border to Belfast, Northern Ireland. Country number two for me!
I spoke with British soldiers who were guarding recently bombed courthouses as well as locals in a pub about “The Troubles,” the name of the conflict between the British Protestant and Irish Catholic populations.I spent a fascinating day in Belfast, learning as much as I could, walking around and taking pictures, and I returned to Dublin on a train in the evening.
In 1994 I spent 100 days backpacking through Europe with my camera!
