Katie, her mother, and myself played tourist on Friday and Saturday with trips to Carrick-a-rede rope bridge...

Wasn't that scary until you look down!

Eep!
We also visited the Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Portstewart, Coleraine, and Rathlin Island. It was great to get out and see some of those things again after living here for a while and having at least a little more of a native perspective :)
Katie and her mom left Saturday afternoon, and I spent the rest of the day relaxing and walking down to the beach to collect some more sea glass. I found a gorgeous royal blue piece, and a large clear piece that has the word "milk" on it. So fun! I need some good jewelry designs and proper wire asap.
TODAY was quite interesting. I was on "cover", which I think I've explained before, but basically was the person on hand all day on the site in case of any issues or emergencies. I have really never dealt with anything more than making sure someone's heat is turned on in their room, overseeing various things, etc. Should've knocked on wood, because today the cover mobile rang and alerted me that a member of a group had fallen outside and most likely broken his foot. Hence, it was my responsibility to call for an ambulance and fill out all the necessary forms, etc.
Bit daunting. I'd forgotten how squeamish I get with medical emergencies as well. Poor lad's foot was double in size...
And I leave you with:

Pretty view of Ballycastle Harbour from the ferry Katie and I took to Rathlin :)
Cheers,

Karen, I miss you already. I went to work today, and now I'm watching "19 and Counting" on TLC. It's just not the same. Mom and I are planning a return trip for 2012, should I meet you at Queens University? We had a magical adventure, and I would go to the ends of the earth again to experience all the fun that that was. I love you love!
