Planes, Trains, and Bonfires.

Today we visted the Folk and Transport museum. One way to describe it is to call it the Henry Ford/Greenfiel Village of Northern Ireland. The ouside part of the museum was amazing with many different buildings, including a few churches. The other part of the museum included the evolution from the bicycle to the motorcycle. It was also filled with different cars and even trains.
Tonight we went to the bonfires. the first thing we did was meet at Steve's church and listened to a speaker. His name was Marvin and he is a minister at a presbyterian church. It was great to hear what he said, but i beleived he was only single sided. I would have loved to hear it from some one that wasn't so much involved in the fighting and in the orange. Thebonfires are a signal to the 12th of july, the day the protestents won the battle of Boyne. The battle wasn't actually started because of religion (but it was a big factor).
The bonfire we went to was huge, it did take a while for the fire to start. Overall today was amazing. It is great here and Lucozade is class.
