In 2013 we went to Ireland and just loved it.  I fell in love with many geological features – man-made and natural.  We went on search after search of rocks and folk lore.  So Finn McCool, known at the time for his prowess in battle, lived at the Giant’s Causeway (made of hexagons of basalt rock), but when he learned the Scottish giant Benandonner was going to invade, Finn relied on his wife to trick the Scot by dressing Finn up as a baby so the Scot would think if this is a baby, how big is the full grown man!  And Benandonner ran back to Scotland, destroying the causeway in his wake.  Isn’t that a fine tale!  Tis hard not to love the Irish and their land.  So this is based on one of my photos of these grand columns in Northern Ireland.  If you haven’t been yet, plan a trip – you won’t be disappointed!
