After a good night's rest (and then some...)

We slept for close to 19 hours. Okay so I didn't sleep for close to 19 hours. Neither did B. But after a long transatlantic flight with little room in the seat and people regularly hitting his arm, hubby was wiped. In the morning, we hopped in our rental car, said our prayers (first time driving on the left side) and drove from Dublin to Belfast. I admired the bilingual signs (English and Irish) all the way to northern Ireland where the Irish portion "disappeared". We drove around after dropping our luggage off at the hotel, looking for the Ulster museum. Many Irish locations do not list their building's number so plugging in addresses into the GPS then negotiating one-way street systems can be challenging. We drove up to a police car, told them our predicament and... they told us to follow them! They brought us straight to the museum! B and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the museum. Hubby a little less - museums are not his thing. We then hurried back to the hotel as we were meeting a Black Taxi Tour driver there for noon. Between the number of police cars at the sites we visited, the fact that the sites we visited consisted solely of murals, the teen who repeatedly hit our closed cab windows as we sat listening to our driver and the lengthy explanations of The Troubles (does Ireland not have a history beyond the political?), we felt anxious to get out of Belfast. So we drove to the Giant's Causeway and that revived us. If you ever get the chance? Go see the causeway; go down the hill to walk on it; take pictures; experience the wonder. As we drove away from the Causeway's parking lot, a police car pulled us over. The police officer approached our vehicle and wanted to know whether we'd been drinking - because we were driving very much to the left. Hubby explained that no, we had not been drinking but, as it was his first experience driving on the left side of the road, he had a tendency to drive a little too close to the ditch. The officer laughed, jotted directions to a nearby restaurant on the back of her business card and told us to email her to let her know how we'd fared! Too much!
