Day 7 & 8 Letterkenny and Derry/Londonderry - Ireland and Northern Ireland Open Borders

[@TheWanderingIrishman]

Fascinating city. Funny how they had their cannons pointed straight at their own walls

[@thissecondhalfadventure]

I’m inclined to think that might be just a “display for tourists” error, since it’s said their walls were never breached.That, or there was some serious in-fighting!😆🇮🇪🇺🇸♥️

For anybody that doesn't know, the city of DERRY in Northern Ireland is largely a CATHOLIC/REPUBLICAN city... (It's people generally identify as IRISH rather than BRITISH...) Even though DERRY is in Northern Ireland and thus governed from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, it's citizen's generally identify as IRISH!!!!! 'LONDONDERRY' is what you call the city if you DON'T hold to that viewpoint... (Hence NOBODY CALLS IT THAT!!!!) The OPPOSITE of a 'REPUBLICAN' is a 'LOYALIST', as in loyal to the British Crown. (The reason the REPUBLICAN IRISH NATIONAL TRICOLOUR FLAG has an ORANGE panel is to honour that 'Loyalist' tradition...) We'd love them to join us but it's up to them... (DERRY was the place where, in 1972, BRITISH PARATROOPERS opened fire upon a CIVILIAN CIVIL RIGHTS PROTEST MARCH and killed 14 people with many others injured...) Different times... For travellers/tourists, it won't be a big deal these days... (The 'Irish Troubles' are pretty much over...) HOWEVER, for the tourist, it's best NEVER to talk politics in Ireland, ESPECIALLY in Northern Ireland. And that city IS CALLED DERRY!!!! *Laughing!!!* xx SF
