Clochán an Aifir

The last time that Felicia Barr and I had a "real" vacation was just before the pandemic. We travelled to Ireland in September of 2019 and one of our stops was Giant's Causeway which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. Giant's Causeway is a magical place which features hexagonal columns that form stepping stones which disappear into the sea. According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The day was very cold, wet and blustery as we walked around the area. In the recording, you hear a lot of noise from the wind and the water pounding the shore but sometimes you can hear different voices of people as they pass us by. It brought us so much joy to be there that we stayed for hours and just as we were about to leave, the sun finally burst through the clouds.
