Ireland: Derry

We ended up in Derry and spent the night on Saturday, on Sunday we went through the city to see the remnants of the revolution. This was the view from my hotel at night.
 
The same view in the morning, we only got a but of rain on Sunday, but for the most part it was blue skies.
 And we went to a bar Saturday night, before dinner, just to get the feel of the city. There was this lady who was singing, she was amazing, and all the old people in the bar enjoyed our company and dancing.
 We also played pool, this is Jasmine and Zoe trying to clean the table after I already beat them...later that night we went to a different bar and Aron and I were a team, we went 5 for 5 and killed everyone who tried to beat us.
 It took a lot for me not to scratch out Anonymous and put my name.
 The one crazy thing about Derry is that there are still divided cities, Protestant and Catholic. This Protestant town shuns all Catholics that enter, the sidewalks are lined with red, white, and blue, symbolizing the English. It's pretty crazy that this still exists.
 The British call the town Londonderry instead of Derry, and they are very protective of their territory.
