Wish I could be there to celebrate your birthday.
I have wanted to go to Giant's Causeway before I even arrived in Ireland. It is a spectacular oddity in the geology. Millions of years ago it was a volcanic area. It formed long cylinders of basalt in the form of a pentagon. Irish folklore has it that Fionn McCool, an almighty man and sometimes giant, walked across Antrim Coast and that created Giant's Causeway. It was a bit misty when we arrived at Giant's Causeway but it completely cleared up. It even got hot! This was a priceless day.
Now a little bit on the dark side. My laptop, camera, sunglasses and new flat iron broke within three days of time. I am extremely irritated because I worked hard to get those things. But I am getting over it. Last week (the week starting with May 5th) I was out in the country in Ballybay and barely had access. I was planning on doing it when I came back (May 10th) because there was no way of getting it in Ballybay or the neighboring town. Now I have this build up of blogs and I only have ten days left with a bunch of things to do. I am writing what happened during that day so I won't forget.

I like Led Zeppelin but I didn't know about Giant's Causeway being on the cover of Houses of the Holy.
Holy Houses of the Holy! I didn't know that Giant's causeway either. Aren't there naked blonde people crawling around on that album? ah, Led Zeppelin.
Laine, I am glad that you are motOvated to take the risk of climbing hills/mountains. That is a really big deal! Do you feel like you could do it again? Or are you still petrified of heights. Not many people that are acrophobic are as bold!
by the way, the pictures of the mountain are great.
