Giant's Causeway



One of the ultimate highlights of our holiday was going to Giant's Causeway. It was incredible! In our man-made, genetically-altered world, I must reassure you that these octagon-shaped rocks are all-natural! There's all sorts of Irish mythology crowding about to explain the freakish natural phenomenon of such strange geology; one story involves two giants...one Scotch and one Irish...and some massive stone-throwing contests.... Henri and Marie are in the bottom photo. Lovely Marie is one of Henri's best friends and she joined us on some of our excursions. I LOVED Giant's Causeway. In Ireland, things are just THERE and its stunning. There's no loud fanfare or brash advertisements - its just there for you to experience and enjoy.

I wish I had gone here last weekend instead of The Cliffs of Moher. It was so crowded and turned into a tourist spot, it was sad.
Are you still in the UK?

Hey Eric! You're in Ireland?! Rock on. If you go to Giant's Causeway, go in the evening...it doesn't get dark until like 10 pm (as you know), so we went around 9 pm and there was hardly anyone there. Would love to be in the UK but I'm in UT. Have a great "business trip!"
