4th of July - 2000 * * * * (#25) Belfast, Northern Ireland
Happy Fourth of July! to you in the USA celebrating Independence
from England. (It's a different story here, where the Protestant
majority are "Loyalists" to the Crown.)
Biking into Belfast
was Bucolic & Beautiful,
for the most part. Bad News:
it is "Marching Season,"
tensions are high - a woman Odyssey rider was assumed to be "the
enemy" and was assaulted & slammed to the ground; her helmet saved her
from injury. -AC
