Belfast Castle and Cave Hill

We had Monday, 19 March, off for a bank holiday.  Since St. Patrick's day was on Saturday, the days off were scheduled for Monday.  Some of us, Kelsey, Melisa, Sam, and I to be exact, decided to go up to see the Belfast Castle and hike up Cave Hill.  Belfast Castle is really great on the outside, and pretty nice on the inside. The others thought that the inside was a little lack luster and not what was expected of a "castle", but I thought it was very nice.  It would be a great place for a wedding reception or some other such event.  After a short walk around the small castle, we headed up Cave Hill.  It is almost more of a mountain, and it gets it's name from the caves you find along the way up.  Unfortunately, I was not able to climb up into the cave due to my knee, but the views were great.  At the top, which was very windy, we could see Belfast and Belfast Bay.  We could see all of the sights like the Harland and Wolfe shipyard and David and Goliath--the huge cranes at the shipyard.  Afterward, we headed home to cook some Sloppy Joe's for supper, American style.
