Brinda's Trip to the North

B:

This is me and Tucker. We were at the Giant's Causeway. The Giant's Causeway is near Belfast, and Belfast is in a different country. The name of the country Belfast is in is Northern Ireland.


This is the Giant's Causeway. It was formed by lava a long time ago. Have you noticed that the rocks are like a stop-sign shape?


There's a story of how it was formed. A long time ago there was a bridge. It started at one side, then came all the way over to the other side, made of those same rocks. And then the waves broke it. It took a long time, but the waves did break it. The other side of the bridge was in Scotland. Did you know that I was twelve miles away from a different country, Scotland?


As you can see in this picture, the rocks do go up and down.


Here's what they look like from the side. I stuck a Pound penny into the wall, and that means that you are going to come back in ten years, when I'm 20.

Fun fact: In Ireland the money, instead of dollars, it's euros. In Northern Ireland, instead of dollars and euros, it's called pounds.


We were watching a video about Giant's Causeway. This was at the museum center. As you can see, the big guy was Benandonner, and the woman was Oonagh, Fionn McCool's wife. Did you know that McCabe is an Irish name?


This is a part of story about how the Giant's Causeway was formed, and wrecked.

  1. Brinda,
    Thanks for all the information about Giant's Causeway. We have never been there. I really wish we had taken the time to go.
