Rain is overated

Some people have said to me to leave my sunglasses behind when I left Canada for Northern Ireland since there would be little sun to hide from in my four months adventure. I'm happy to report that after 8 days abroad, traveling through London, Belfast and Derry, I have only faced a few hours of clouds and drizzle. Rain has yet to cross my path.

Besides the generally PERFECT weather, I have been the cookie cutter traveler since my arrival. My father and I landed in London for a two day layover. We battled with jet lag while paying a visit to Big Ben and Trafalgar square. The next day feeling slightly refreshed we completely ravaged the city sights: Buckingham palace, Green park, Soho, East London (Jack the Ripper), Greenwich, boat tour and everything in between.

Exhausted we left the buzzing city of London for Belfast. In our short stay there we split our time between the city and Northern Ireland's natural beauty. Visit the Giant Causeway, its villages and cost were truly incredible. Views were breathtaking. Days could have been spent there in order to truly soak in the beauty of the scenery. I cannot wait to experience it again.

Finalement, nous sommes arrivé à Derry. Ma destination 'finale'. Cette petite ville est elle aussi remplie de caractère et sourtout, elle renferme beaucoup d'histoire. Peu à peu je commence a mettre en ordre les luttes qui se sont déroulé sur ses terres. Il m'en reste beaucoup a voir encore et j'ai bien hate de continuer ma découverte et la partager avec vous.

Je tenterai d'écrire dans les deux langues aifin de rester bien accroché à mes racines franco-ontariennes. Je suis certaine que malgré tout vous pourrez tous suivre mes péripécies pendant les mois qui suivent. Please leave your thoughts, questions and comments. I am really looking forward to the feedback!

I will write more very soon.
