Belfast is a solemn place to be. I know what Jan was saying when he said it is just different than Dublin. It is not as lively and people are nice, but there is still something that is different in the air. Today is not a reflection of leadership but a day to reflect how thankful I am for the peace we have in our country and how much people have gone through to be where we are right now.
Also talking to the Black Cab Driver was so cool to hear here how they have come out of the conflict. I know that there are conflicts going on in the world currently, but to be somewhere like Belfast where the conflict has happened so recently is an insane feeling.
