Rest and rest alone was the first order of the day today.  It was lovely!  In the afternoon, we headed back toward the incredibly picturesque coastal town of Ballintoy, where yesterday we had passed an interesting looking church and cemetery.  A stroll around the grounds revealed a gravestone with a 1696 date.

Climbing back in the car, we headed to Portbradden.  This was a tiny fishing village that today houses the smallest church in Ireland, St. Gobban’s.  The seascape was incredible.  My camera doesn’t do it justice.

After this short bit of sightseeing, we thought it would be a great idea to head toward the river Bush and the town of Bushmills to sample the local wares.  Guess what we found.

  A sampling of the 10 year Bushmill’s Irish Whiskey and then a sampling of the Bushmill’s 12 year reserve was quite the topper to a restful day!  Thanks again to our Irish hosts.
