We left at 8:00 a.m. on Friday morning for Belfast on our coach bus, still half asleep and lugging our quickly packed backpacks around. The ride was about an hour and a half and full of gorgeous views of the countryside. I can’t tell you how many sheep I saw this weekend, but it was a lot. Once we got to Belfast we met with our tour guide Nigel who then took us on a historical tour of Belfast and filled us in on a little Northern Ireland history.
After that we drove to the Hostel that we would be staying at for the night, which was in this little town called Ballintoy. The hostel was right next to large fields of sheep and behind the fields was the ocean. We ate dinner at the hostel and then all 23 of us went out to the one of two local pubs in the tiny town. There was live music, which consisted of a man with an electric guitar performing Johnny Cash numbers and other classics. We filled up the entire pub and you could tell the man performing was not expecting such a lively crowd. It was an awesome night and I feel like everyone bonded since it was the first time we were all hanging out together. At some point in the night I was cheered up to the front to sing with a fellow classmate. It was a great night.
