Northern Ireland

Hello again! The place I am going to tell you about is pretty… interesting. It’s quite a long story but here’s where it begins. So apparently there is a lot of hate still in the north of Ireland, there is a feud going on between two groups. I’m no expert but this is how I see it… So first you have the Irish Catholics who want Ireland as one country not ruled by Britain.  Then you have the English Protestants that support the queen. But the crazy part is, that they’re both Christian! So how I know this is because my family and I took a taxi tour with a former prisoner of war as the driver, don’t worry he was cool. He was telling us about this Irish Catholic group called the IRA. They are a group of civilians that fight for they’re beliefs in politics and religion. Unfortunately, many people have died on both sides. Hopefully they will realize that this is a stupid argument and they should bring peace back to Ireland.

Hope you keep reading!

Peace Wall…separates the Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods. They lock the gates every evening. 


The Protestant side graffiti wall. Can you spot one of our names?!

Hope you keep reading! (The next post will be smashing!)
