Keep off the grass? Not in Belfast!




Had the most amazing vocal workshop today. It was other worldly. Out of body almost. My eyes have been opened to a hidden potential. There's so much to explore! This is the end of the first week and I could walk away now and feel fulfilled. (insert deep sigh of contentment)
Anywho sooooo updates:
I bought butter. Did I mention that? A big ol' block of kerry gold. It's delicious. We've also obtained a pot. That's right ONE pot. Haha. At least we can cook a bit more than at the start of the week.

I walked almost all of Belfast yesterday, at least it felt that way. I've actually seen a good bit of the city on foot. Went over to the OMAC aka old museum art center bought a ticket for Alibi. Made my way to City Hall. Took some pictures around there. I love that any open bit of grass is basically an invitation to sit down. I have yet to see a single sign that says keep off the grass.
I have one small complaint. The Belfast Welcome Center. I didn't find it so welcoming. It's basically a big shop for selling key chains and Irish music CDs. I may give it another try later on but I wasn't so impressed. I had better luck at Failte Ireland. The woman was lovely gave me a whole bag of stuff on day tours and such for when my sisters come for a visit. I then took that whole bag of stuff and sat in a coffee shop in a library and read it all. So relaxing.

Went to see Cat play tonight at Common Ground a lovely little coffee shop up the street. I would definitely suggest it to anybody looking for something warm for their belly or a yummy sandwich. Hot chocolate was DE-licious. Big plus all the profit goes to charity.
