June 26 – a Day on our own

Cora took Eleanor to the train depot this morning – she had to return to Queen’s in Belfast but we would see her there at week’s end.  Cat and I spent the day doing laundry and having our own walk around. Two blocks away, we went to the River Foyle and headed towards the Peace Bridge, a pedestrian bridge across the Foyle uniting the Catholic and Protestant sides of Derry. We had sandwiches at a little cafe, then navigated back over to the Guildhall for a history lesson about old Londonderry’s birth as a town long ago.

Returning back to our house, we caught our breath, checked in with Cora and our drying laundry, then made dinner in Clarence House. The house is occupied by student lodgers and the girls, from US, Donegal, Columbia, and Barcelona, were all lovely to visit with.  Tomorrow, another day.
