Pat, Mike and others spoke with Reverend Gordon who experienced marches and riots in Albany, New York in 1967. He then returned to Belfast and worked for peace and reconciliation as a pastor.
After breakfast, we went to the Giants Causeway.
There were a lot of active and friendly school children but we worked around them mostly. Deb used the bus to get to the hexagonal columns area. Some made it to the far end of the mid cliff walk. Some of those went up the steep path and stairs to the top of the cliff.
Great lunch at the Smugglers Inn with desert included!
On to Dun Luce Castle where Nina McNeary, who is an archaeologist told us about the sequence of construction from oldest to newest. The McCuils(sp) knew how to Court the British king while keeping many things Gaelic.
On the ride back, driver Patrick stopped in the car park where we could photograph the Carrick-aa-Rede Bridge.
On the way back to Corrymeela, some were dropped off at a beach while some went up the hill to Corrymeela.
Karen Eyben from Community and Family Projects. Talked to us about several projects, including Waste No Time. Her progress is incredible. She advised we observe and ask questions as the best way to help with understanding and reconciliation.
We went out to hear some traditional Irish music.
