In early October, Jennifer and Cam had a short break from school, and took advantage of the inexpensive Easy Jet flights from Basel to London, and then on to Belfast to see Robyn. She has been working in an Addictions Counselling program at the Harmony Hills Presbyterian Church youth drop-in centre, just south of Belfast, since early September. Robyn took a few days off, and we rented a car (Yes...the right-hand drive type!), and drove around Northern Ireland for three days. After the first few days of Cam's driving on the "wrong" side of the road, and of Jennifer's white-knuckle warnings about being too close to the curb, things settled down for a comfortable tour. This included a look at the Giant's Causeway (which legend says was built by non other than the legendary Irish giant, Finn MacCool....love that name!!), the Kerrick rope bridge, Bushmills distillery, Dunluce Castle, and the Barbour family home town, Ballymena. The travel brochures are absolutely right....Ireland truly does have 40 shades of green!
