Drove up to New Grange and toured Knowth and New Grange Passage Tombs. The weather was the best we could ever remember. Low 50's and sunshiny bright. After a hearty lunch, we loaded back onto the bus and Jimmy drove us to Farset International Hotel, Belfast. Most slept on the way north, except for our two youths who were too excited to sleep.
Quickly dropped off our things at the Hotel and walked down to Forthspring to meet with staff and discuss our work for the coming week.
At 6 we walked the 1/4 mile to Failte Restaurant, one of our favorites in Belfast. Much conversation about how tired everyone was, but the food was very good.
Tomorrow the group is splitting in two. Four team members will go to Forthspring and work on the garden area. The other 4 members will travel to a refurbishment center where they will repair and refurbish furniture, bikes and other things.
Peace,
