and it was an eye-opener. We spent time on Shankill Road on the loyalist side, time along the wall (3 miles long and up to 40 ft high), and then time on Bombay Rd on the nationalist side. It was peaceful, but the murals were unsettling. We later went to Londonderry for a wallking tour and looked down on the bogside. We were warned not to go down there... Both tours were worth it.

Oddly enough, Northern Ireland may be more in line with Catholic teaching than the Republic, as abortion is banned in the north.
