It has been hot and sunny for about a week now in Ballycastle. On Sunday afternoon I took a stroll into the town and saw for the first time what looked like rush hour. Hundreds of people flocked from throughout Northern Ireland to spend a sunny day at the beach or to have ice cream from the shops. Summer officially began in the UK on Sunday. The birds are coming back, the trees budding and city dwellers enjoying the ocean.
Niki is enjoying her time with CPT. She spent the first couple of days in Jerusalem listening to the stories of the people before going to Hebron and now Bethlehem. She has not had much access to email since Jerusalem so we'll have to wait to find out more. I spoke with a lady that was staying at Corrymeela on Monday. She had been on a delegation to Israel/Palestine in November 2006. She had such an eye opening experience that she told me CPT saved her life.
Gerry Adams and Ian Paisley have agreed to share power in Northern Ireland. I have been asked what I think of this, but I'm not too sure what to think. An article about it can be read at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6494599.stm?ls
