Is it for a visa application? Not that it makes a difference, but just want to make sure.

And it dawned on me. I can't imagine what someone said to self-delete? It's a travel forum!

You breathed free Ireland air. Let it permeate your soul.

A few lines from The Foggy Dew:

Twas down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I.
When Ireland's line of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its dread tattoo
But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey's swell
Rang out in the foggy dew.

Right proudly high over Dublin town
They flung out a flag of war.
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar.
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through;
While Britannia's sons with their long-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew.

I preferred Dublin ( whole different vibe) but happy I made it to Belfast
