A "Giant" Walk

On Wednesday November 5...
We spent most our day walking the Giant's Causeway, an area of hexagonal cliffs created by ancient volcanoes. So large and unique, it was believed that Finn MacCool (not "Joe" although Andrew thinks they could be distant relatives) the Giant used these columns to build a bridge to Scotland. The weather has been cool but no rain as of yet - just enough to keep us sniffling a little bit :) We really enjoyed our hike along the cliff-side looking down into the ocean, especially because we barely passed anyone along the way! We figured that in the summer months when the weather is a bit warmer there must be a lot more people who visit here.

Later in the afternoon we toured the Bushmills Distillery. The oldest licensed distillery! Andrew didn't like the whiskey he picked out to sample at the end of tour, and he made me drink both.

We also enjoyed a quiet evening at a local seafood restaurant where we had the place all to ourselves. In fact, the waitress had to turn on the music after we sat down. Casey had stuffed peppers and I had the Surf and Turf. Yum Yum!

In the picture here, "Where's Casey?" The ocean is behind and around this narrow point along the cliff.
