"Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler, belonging no more to one place than the next, moves slowly, over periods of years from one part of the earth to another." -Paul Bowles

N'orn Iron
Just back from almost two weeks in Northern Ireland. Interviewed a few stakeholders in the tourism industry for my dissertation, then travelled around a bit. Anyway, here are some pics.
yep, i was there on the 12th. honestly, i can't really see what the big deal is with the orange parades. they're mostly a bunch of old men about to keel over and die...some of them limping along or even riding in cars bc the can't walk. and the festivity around the marches is more like a 4th of july parade, although the poor kids get no candy.
hiya girly, thanks for hanging out with me when you were here. it was great meeting you and i enjoyed the company :)
some of the pics i took on the hill are on my flickr which is linked on my webpage which should be linked on this post somehow someway... if you wanna see them. feel free to grab them for yourself if you are so inclined.
hey you. thanks for the invite and the trip to cave hill. wish i wasn't such a lazy ass on the hiking! let me know when you will be in london next and we'll meet up for a pint or something.
