Day 6

No photos today. I ran this morning--a loop on the city walls then I crossed the Peace Bridge spanning Lough Foyle, a lap around St. Columb’s Park track, and meanderings through park trails before returning to the walled city. It was a great way to start the day. Mom and I visited some of the shops she would have frequented when she lived here then we met her friends the O’Dwyers for lunch at their lovely house on a hill overlooking the city. Then out to Drumahoe for tea with Mary Richmond, who used to clean houses for the Americans. Then back to Belfast. Really good to get in my own bed and not worry about tomorrow’s route. No map googling or questions about parking or worries about getting anywhere on time to do anything.
