All of the pages are narrated by Liz (me) and the narration will vary in
size—when I have more pictures, there'll be less text (in theory). Most
photos will have text if you place the cursor over the image. If you click the smaller
images, a larger version will open in a new window.
The collection on this site is only part of the hundreds of photos we
took in Ireland. If you want to see all of them, you need to stop by.
We headed out of Sligo and drove the few hours up to Coleraine and Ballycastle to visit the Giant's Causeway.
On the ride up it rained so, knowing our luck, the afternoon would be beautiful.
We made it to Coleraine
in good time and stopped for lunch. The city was unbelievably quiet—I felt rude
speaking above a whisper. From what we could tell, the unearthly quite was due to the lack
of cars within the city center.
After we finished our wanderings, we drove out to the Giant's Causeway. On the way,
Josh stopped so I could take pictures of the coastline.
The Giant's Causeway
was impressive, although it felt a bit like a beach. So it wasn't as impressive as I was imagining. We walked along
a cliff and then wandered down to the Causeway. Around this time, Josh began taking some pictures.
On the drive from the Giant's Causeway back to Coleraine, near where we were staying, we passed
Dunluce Castle. We decided
not to pay to tour the castle, but instead admired the ruins from outside.
It was now after 5:00 so we went to our B&B. The lady of the house reminded us of a grandmother, not one of ours but
one of the grandmothers you see on TV. Even with the religious needlepoints every two feet, I would
recommend this B&B.
The lady of the house recommended a little pub down the street. This was the first restaurant we
went to with people smoking inside. It's amazing how much smoking sticks out when you become used to a
smoke-free environment. Josh and I both had a very tasty Hawaiian burger and then went home to sleep.
Tomorrow we would be backtracking. |
