Thursday, June 2nd, 2011: Giant's Causeway

It was a long drive to the Giant’s Causeway. We arrived at the causeway around 8 pm. The causeway is actually a result of volcanic ash erupting and being cooled by the sea in the last ice age into hexagonal columns. It was absolutely amazing! Adam took over 200 pictures of the causeway. We waited to watch the sun set. It was beautiful!!!! It was also very late, as the sun doesn’t set until at least 10 pm. We all made it to bed around midnight. The fable says that Fionn MacCumhaill- the Irish Giant- put the causeway in so that he could reach his girlfriend in Scotland.
