A beautiful day up to the north
coast of Ireland
The Allens had business up toward the north tip of Ireland
and invited us to go with them ... and then spend the day
sightseeing along the coast .. Gave us an amazing
look at Ireland and along roads we never would have found ourselves.
Was a most wonderful day.
Portrush in the very north tip of Ireland
Portrush -- There are places on this
coast where one can see across the water to Scotland.
Stop at the Old Bushmills distillery ...
claim to be the oldest in the world .. since 1608!
At the "Giants Causeway" which is an
enormous tourist attraction.
An amazing geological phenonomen
This geological formation continues under
the sea to Scotland and folklore claims that it was a
battleground with giants on the other side.
William and Mavis at the Giants Causeway --
Our amazing hosts for several days.
Beautiful coast
Beautiful coast -- with narrow roads and
lots of curves and bridges.
Beautiful fields and lots of farmers
Beautiful coast -- sheep everywhere.
Sure keeps the landscape looking like a lawn.
Little stop in a coastal town "Cushendun"
Icecream stop along the way
Telling my story on the way back in a little
town in county Down. They all made fun of me for my
obsession of telling everyone about my grandparents and dads
history in Ireland!!
