So we arrived in Derry (or Londonderry, depending on who you're talking to) about two hours ago. We're staying in a big house in the middle of St. Colomb's park, appropriately named St. Colomb's Park House. It's a center for peace and conflict resolution and they are letting us stay there because we are here studying race, religion, and conflict. The house and the park are pretty but kind of in the middle of nowhere in this tiny town so we feel a bit isolated. Also, there is no internet access in the house so we had to take a taxi over to a McDonald's to use their free WiFi. Because of this, I probably won't be able to update the blog that much but I'll do my best!

We have a few interesting things planned out for the next couple of days such as a meeting with John Hume and possibly the mayor of Derry. All day Thursday is reserved for our final exams and presentations and then Friday we are heading back to Dublin and flying home on Saturday morning!
