The sunset in the backyard of our hostel in the sticks

Everyone enjoying some Craic

I think this is the last one....

Bigger cliffs

Slieve League - these are three times the size of the Cliffs of Moher....these are officially Europe's highest sea cliffs - this photos just doesn't do it any justice

Fort just outside of Derry

Make a wish

Making a wish at the wishing well at the Fort

Me and my fort!

Bloody Sunday

The site of where Bloody Sunday took place. That is a mural of the 14 year old girl who was the first victim of this horrible event.

Monument

This monument is at the top of a hill and use to have a massive column with a statue on top of it, it was about 100 feet tall, that is until the IRA blew it up

Derry Murals

One of the many murals depiciting the events

Dunluce Castle

I'm the king of the castle

Giant's Causeway

An area of hexagonal shaped rocks that were formed during lava cooling from an eruption....but really it was Finn MacCool the giant that built it as a pathway to Scotland.

Me and the sea

The swell was really big that day... I was freaking out on that rock!
