Giant's Causeway

On the last day of our trip, we visited the Giant's Causeway. This amazing geologic structure was formed 60 million years ago on the northern coast of Northern Ireland. It is composed of hexagonal basalt columns. Enjoy! (PS I'm spending the night in the airport at Atlanta with my students because our flight got delayed.)

Kildare: National Stud Farm

Here's a picture of the astrolabe at the National Stud Farm in Ireland (unveiled for the Queen's visit)! The guy who started this farm believed that horses that could see the moon and stars were better racers, so all his stables had skylights! He also matched horses for breeding based on their astrological signs. He was wildly successful. We saw Invincible Spirit, who has sired many winners in Europe.

Cliffs of Moher

These were stunning! It has been one of the highlights of the trip for me. Here's a picture of me at the cliffs!

Galway Bay

Here's a picture of me with beautiful Galway Bay behind me! Taken from corkscrew hill in Co. Clare.
