Giant's Causeway - Day Twelve

Sunday, July 5th, 2015

Today was our last meeting with the Portadown Congregation. With heavy hearts, we said our goodbyes. Thank goodness we'll be seeing some of them at convention this weekend. That kept our tears back, for now. Here's the precious brothers and sisters we've spent the last two weeks with.


With regards to sight seeing, this was definitely the day we'd been waiting for. We were able to tour the Bush Mills Distillery, and try a free whiskey! They did not allow photos, but trust me, it was heavenly. The entire process had managed to keep its' older charm, despite having been around since 1608.

The highlight of our day was Giants Causeway. The walk to the causeway was lovely. Billowing clouds began to creep in. Soon, it would be "lashing."



THIS is Giants Causeway. If only our cameras could actually capture the massive splendor of this place. It was breath-taking.


It's likely these formations occurred fifty to sixty million years ago. The rock is hexagon shaped because of cracks from lava contracting as it cooled.





The rain did "lash." But we kept jolly.



The day ended with award-winning fish n chips. We can't keep out of the stuff.
