Though I should probably talk about school things since that is the technical reason for being here, it is so much more fun to talk about the adventure side. I will try to post about school later this week...maybe even from the library!
This weekend we went with the International Society to Giants Causeway, Bushmill's Distillary, and Dunluce Castle. There were quite a few of us which was different from previous adventures, but we still had fun! Giant's Causeway was amazing. Millions of rocks, towering cliffs, and bone-chilling ocean all meet in one place to paint a spectacular picture. I was amazed my the beauty created by a volcano (or a giant depending on what truth you choose to believe). After not nearly enough time we ventured to Bushmill's Distillary to tour the amazingly old whisky distillery. We walked through the factory and learned how whisky is made, then we got to sample some. I can say that I am a fan of Bushmills Honey and water. Now that I know how much of a process making whisky is I have a much better appreciation for the taste...may not be my drink of choice, but still quite delicious. The last stop on our journey for the day was Dunluce Castle...the first real castle I've been to. We didn't get to go inside, but we still got to explore the cliffs, caves, and hills around it.
I feel like I am on an adventure in a fairy tale land. Everything is so beautiful and surreal. I am loving every minute of meeting new people, experiencing new things, and discovering new places. Now that I feel like I've seen a small bit of Northern Ireland I am ready to venture farther...London is calling.
