Ireland Day 1

After hours of traveling we finally arrived at the Belfast airport.  We boarded our bus and we were off for the Corrymeela Community.  On our way we saw the beautiful hills and valleys of Northern Ireland or at least we did before everyone fell asleep.

When we finally arrived at Corrymeela we were greeted by the nicest leaders.  They helped direct us around the campus and gave us an hour’s free time, which most people took to play a game of football or take pictures of the amazing views.

After our free time the group met with all of the staff at Corrymeela to understand the rules and the purpose of their program.

We’ve already learned so much in the little time we have spent in Corrymeela.

For dinner we had traditional Irish beef and potato stew.  In addition, there were many side dishes to choose from.

After dinner we had more free time before the evening worship.  The service was very different than what we are used to.  So ends day one for the first group.
