Leaving Greystones...heading to Belfast

Well we are officially sad to leave Greystones this morning.  It has been a wonderful time of working, hanging out and having fun here at the YWCA aka "the Shire" as Jimmy referred to it.  The people here have fully welcomed us and it will not be fun to say our goodbyes today.  
Our group is heading north to Belfast on a charter bus ride.  We have the HUGE privilege of getting a private tour of Stormont, (Parliament), by Deputy Prime Minister Danny Kennedy this afternoon.  I was told this is equivalent of getting a tour of the White House by our Head of Senate.  We are very honored and excited!  We will be having dinner there this evening also after an extensive tour of the city and learning more about the history of Northern Ireland.  
Tomorrow we will be working with Habitat for Humanity in Belfast all day.  We'll learn more about their reconciliation project.
I am not sure of what Internet access will look like our last few days, so if this is our last post, we'll see you back in Colorado on Thursday night!
This trip has been beyond wonderful and our team has gotten closer than I had ever expected.  God is so good and I can't wait to share all the stories and pictures with y'all!
