Today's post is brought to you by Aislyn C. She is 18, and graduating this year. She jingle dances and wants to study business admin at university. She is currently teaching herself Swedish to make a connection to her father's family. She is one of my favourite people. Carolyn

We started the day off early around 7:30-8:00 ish and made our way up to Belfast, Ireland. The drive was about two hours long, which is absolutely great because sleeping on a bus isn't the most enjoyable or comfortable on this here planet. When then met our tour guide, Jacky. He was very informative and taught us a lot of things but if I'm being honest, it kinda went in one ear and out the other. I was too busy looking out the window and at the beautiful scenery to listen to what was being said, but he was great. Then around afternoon time we hit a bit of a rough patch and some of us were being bad kids but it eventually worked out and now we're just looking to enjoy the rest of the trip and what it has to offer. We then went to the Titanic museum and

The building is as tall as the actual ship was.
it was so beautiful and great. I personally had a great time there and it was very informative and interesting and I did learn things I didn't know before. Fun fact about myself and my family: I am half First Nations and half Swedish. In 1912 my father's side of the family was actually meant to be on the Titanic but ended up getting kicked off onto another boat. Just to think that something like that could've happened and I wouldn't be here today. Later in the evening when we got back to the hotel, we took a little stroll around Belfast and it was so nice outside and it was great to see it in a different way then on a tour bus.
