Cave Hill Hiking!

Brie and I woke up early this morning and decided we should attempt to "carpe diem", if you will. Hiking on Cave hill has been on the agenda for quite some time, and since the sun was shining we figured it would be a perfect day to do it. Clad in tennis shoes, hiking apparel, and after a wee stop at Clements Coffee, we were on our way.

We won't argue the fact that we aren't really in shape for challenging hikes at the moment. People in Northern Ireland definitely don't seem to prioritize working out like in the states. Generally, they "can't be bothered" with things like that, and I think our whole HECUA class has gladly taken on that attitude in the last three months. It's been kind of nice, but I must say the day was kind of a slap in the face. BUT. We did succeed in scaling that monster, and it was well worth the sweat and pain. The view of the city was beautiful, and the fresh air and sun felt amazing. I think it was an appropriate thing to do on our last weekend in County Antrim, aye?





We made it!


Sigh. We shall miss Belfast when we're gone.

Ta,
Karen
