The Vine is a community center that is involved in the area between the Shankill Road (Protestant area) and the Falls Road (Catholic area). It is located on the Crumlin Road. On the wall in stained glass are pictures of people from the Crumlin Road who have achieved great things in their careers. You will recognize Amy Carmichael, but to her left is my late uncle Norman Nevin (married to my Aunt Jean – Ruth’s older sister). He was professor of genetics specializing in DNA and spinal bifida in infants. He was honored by the Queen with an OBE. It was great to see him recognized for his achievements.

Stormont
Stormont is where Parliament sits in N. Ireland. Long drive looking up to the building with beautiful lawns on either side. People come and walk here after their day of work.
Bushmills Distillery
The oldest whiskey distillery in Ireland established in 1608. Irish whiskey is always spelled with an “e”. Great tour!
The Giant’s Causeway (4)
The flowers of the field. A rugged beauty. These first 2 pics were taken almost simultaneously. It was as if a cloud passed over me although being so cold I thought it was my breath…but it was so quick.
