Corrymeela was an interesting stop. I had already heard a little bit about it from people at Intercomm, so I had an idea what to expect; or rather I knew to keep an open mind on what to expect. Exactly what I was told is that they take a religions look at peace making and that one day a group paramilitary can be in there and the next a Sunday afternoon knitting club. They appeal to all different groups like that. When some other people in our group saw the "kitting club" like group that we walked past right upon arriving there were some strange looks and "Where are we?" was heard in our crowd.
The best thing about it was to see the different type of peace making going on, along side the political and third-sector efforts we are seeing in Belfast. Then to hear their political views, or lack there of, in some cases.
The second day we were in such a rush. I wish we took a second venture to the Northern coast, even if just for tourist reasons to do all the great things there, instead of doing all the best stuff in one day.
