... pictures of the carved figures that were all around. They were the work of the owner’s husband, and we saw a few more in the village of Ballintoy when we drove through.

Our objective today was to see the Giant’s Causeway. It’s a seaside area composed of over 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns. The legend of the causeway is quite amusing. The Giant Finn McCool challenged his Scottish counterpart, Ben an Conner to a fight. He built the causeway from ...

An interesting castle ruin. The main castle is on a rock. Part of the old kitchen fell into the sea. They built another block of buildings on the main land.

Afterwards, I climbed down to the base and saw the natural cave underneath the castle.

... where I stayed could have been straight out of a neighborhood on the edge of downtown Toronto. Sushi, Subway, and Starbucks lined this neighborhoods streets and I felt 4,000 miles away from the council housing and dividing walls.

... driving through there. Rolling green hills that look more perfect than any watercolour painting could ever depict them, white ponies grazing and frolicking in the lush wild grass, abandoned grey stone cottages and stone walls in varying states of disrepair and neglect, old men in red tractors tipping their tweed hats as you pass them on the secluded laneways...what a perfect start to my holiday with my parents ...

... our journey to the next stop in Balleymena. We stopped at the Ulster American Heritage Park in Omagh, where you took this outdoor tour of life back in the day or little shanty houses to rich houses...wow...way different from now. churches, etc. then you were brought through the town to the shipping yard to a replica of a ship that sailed over with immigrants to Pennsylvania area....which would have been around the exact time ...

... the train back to Carrickfergus where Trevor picked us up and brought us back to their house. Here Ca and I finally decided on a B & B in Bergamo for the night (it's really not cheap there so we hope to find something cheaper for the rest of the Milan stay) and I updated a few of my travelblogs (so ones that were previously blank are kinda filled in....the grammar kinda sucks though ....but that's like all of the them so oh well) .... Grandma and ...

... shopping (we love it here!!! the clothes are fun and different and reasonably priced...or so we think...). Ca is specifically loving it because after a month with the same shirt in different colours she feels like she is "swimming in a pool of pattern" and is buying it all up...Good thing Grandma and Grandpa will be taking stuff home for us.. Most of the stuff I have bought has been for work...and I love it all because you could never find the colours, patterns ...

... than a big earthquake to stop the boys in their tracks!! So our first destination will be Bangkok for a few days and then who knows after that. Thanks for everybody's texts and goodluck messages. hope ya's all had a great xmas and have a happy new year!!
