| Day 6: Thursday, July 4: Kathleen's father, Ally, takes me on an historically educational tour of the Derry City Walls. This is one of the most interesting and in-depth activities I've done yet... For more information on the "Historic Walled City," visit this site. |

 |
| The Walls are 18 feet thick and encircle 2 square miles |
| Cannons stationed at a former lookout post |
 |
| A British Army guard tower - you can't see them in this photo, but there are rifles with scopes sticking out of the windows... |
 |
| ...and right next to that tower is this tower with cameras pointing in every direction. |
 |
 |
 |
| Ally stands outside St. Columba's, the oldest Catholic Church in Derry - built in 546. There are graves of people buried there as far back as the 6th century! |
| The site of the original altar. The church has since been expanded, but this plaque marks the spot in the middle of the sanctuary where the first altar stood. |
| The Bloody Sunday Centre |
 |
| Kathleen and I on one last bender on my last night in Derry! I'm leaving for Dublin the following day. |
 |
| Wowing 'em with my rendition of "Killing Me Softly!" |
 |
| Yeah, that's me - kissing a REAL live Irishman! Always wanted to do that! (And, thanks to Kathleen, it would happen several more times throughout the night! |
 |
| Out at Abrakebabra for my favorite drunken snack with a couple of Kathleen's pals. |
|
| Later on... |
