Belfast Ireland and the Giants Causeway

I really loved Northern Ireland! Our tour guide speaks Gaelic at home and shared with us the history of Northern Ireland. He wanted to make sure we understood the war history and that things were peaceful and stable. He had a very strong accent that made him fun to listen to. We drove though gorgeous countryside right along the coast.


If the cows lay in a circle the Irish say rain is on the way. The Irish also don't cut their hemlock bushes in the hedgerows because the fairies will bring them bad luck. They are very superstitious. I was asked, "Where do you love?" What?? That's personal! Oh, he was asking where I lived! Got to love that strong Irish accent.
The air is so fresh here and you smell the grass and sea air together, so nice!



Below is the Giants Causeway which are rock formations in rows that look cylindrical in shape all along the coast. It was interesting, but cold, and after a short time we were done. This is the windiest place in Ireland....and I don't like wind..so we were out of there!





And our traditional lunch time beer!
