Thursday morning we walked to the train station in Dublin and took a train to Belfast. The ride took about two and a half hours and there was some beautiful scenery.
In Belfast we took an Uber to our hotel. The driver told us that there is good food and music in the Cathedral district on Hill Street. So we walked over there and did find both good food and music.
We went back to the hotel, played some cards and then went exploring again. We were reading some signs about Sinclair Seamen’s Presbyterian Church. It’s right across the street from our hotel. A group of church members were cleaning the Church. A very enthusiastic man offered to open the church and show us around. Coincidentally the church is dedicated to John Sinclair who was from here and made a big contribution to build the Church back in 1856-7. Sinclair moved to Iowa, founded Sinclair Meat packing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and died there. Cedar Rapids is only about 40 Miles from Manchester, Iowa where Duke and Roger grew up.
