Northern Ireland- 1 2008

After taking a “Paddy Wagon” (green 15 passenger bus) from Dublin to Belfast, we arrived in pouring rain at a rope bridge which was used by salmon fishermen in the North Atlantic.
The sun came out by the time we reached The Giant’s Causeway, a World Heritage Site. One story is that a giant made the causeway so he wouldn’t get his feet wet going from Ireland to Scotland. The other possibility is that the columns were formed over 60 million years ago by the cooling and shrinking of molten lava from a vast volcanic eruption
Since the wind was REALLY blowing, I decided not to walk down with Kathy. When I told a white-haired tourist from Australia that I didn’t have any British money to take the shuttle, she said, “Oh, love, you HAVE to see it since you’re here” and she paid my fare.
