Belfast

We wound up our round-the-world trip in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The Irvines, who are long-time friends of the Youssef's, were so kind to host us during our short time there. Wilma fixed us our second home cooked meal in a month and it was fantastic. We toured the murals from the conflict between Loyalists and Republicans which only officially ended in 1998 in what is known as the Good Friday Peace Agreement. The murals become kind of memorials to those who had fought on each side (Catholics and Protestants) . After touring the murals, we took a hike along the Irish coast to a famous fisherman's spot where a rope bridge carries you from one side of the cliffs to the other (I had to give myself a pep talk before crossing...while Josh was laughing at me and snapping photos). We then traveled to the Giant's Causeway where we witnessed the hexagonal rock formations that were fomred many years ago by volcanic lava . On our way to dinner we popped our head in a local castle, Dunluce. Afterwards we shared a meal and ice cream by the seaside.

We have had an unbelievable time abroad touring and hearing the amazing stories of how Leading the Way, and ultimately the Lord, is impacting the lives of so many. We look forward to the flight home to Atlanta and are thankful for the incredible memories and relationships we have formed from our trip overseas.
