Thanks Brian but I can't view that website. There is sound (or something) on it that freezes my computer-I have to shut it down. I ran across the same thing about 6 months ago on a website. They told me to download something.... and then it worked but I don't seem to have that something any more. Do you have any idea what it is?

I can't vouch for that B and B (and I didn't like the one at which I stayed so won't recommend it), but if you're only half a mile from the city center, you could stay in that B&B, walk into town and bus down to PRONI. It's very easy, Mom and I used the bus system when we were there last week. Food in Belfast is rather hard to find, at least we had problems. If you go all day to PRONI, they have their own canteen/cafeteria, and their food is both reasonably priced and absolutely scrumptious. Stop in the Tourist Welcome Center in the city center and they'll have bus schedules. Mostly though, the bus down Lisburn road runs about every 7-15 minutes and it's a moderate but lovely hike uphill from the bus stop to PRONI.

> Food in Belfast is rather hard to find, at least we had problems. Gosh, better take food parcels! Seriously, as visitors from England, my cousin and I had no difficulty finding food in Belfast city centre, or in Ulster generally. MacDonald's are not unknown and there are some really nice restaurants - try down the old Dublin Road towards the University for a wide choice just out of the centre. (You don't have to be under 25.) Curiously, Ulster folk use supermarkets, so if all else fails you should be able to find a sandwich - or even make your own! Chris
