Giant's causeway






So Sat. we hiked to the Giant's Causeway. Since I have already posted pictures approaching it, here are some of the Causeway. Legend says that an Irish giant built the causeway as a bridge to Scotland (there is an identical formation there) to go kill some Scottish giant. However, when he got to Scotland, he saw that the giant was much bigger than he was so he got scared and ran back to Ireland. The Scottish giant's wife knew/found out that the Irish giant was there, so she sent her husband over to Ireland to kill the Irish giant. So the Scottish giant walks accross the Causeway. When the Irish giant's wife sees him coming, she decides to dress her husband up in baby clothes and put him to sleep. When the Scottish giant sees the "baby," he gets scared because if the baby was that big, surely the adult would be really huge. So, he runs away, tearing up the Causeway bridge with him. Thus, Scotland and Ireland were separated.
