I am doing my project on one of my favourite things to do.. sun bathing! There's nothing better than lying out on a beach or freshly cut grass on a summers day, sun on my back & sea air tossing my hair = smile on my face! I went to the gaeltacht on Inis Mór two years ago. This is where you get off the ferry from Galway, and it is the only town on the island. It contains the only shop which is a Spar, a few cute pubs such as Joe Watty's and a few little restaurants. It is also home to the Aran Sweater Shop which attracts many tourists. The 3 weeks I was there was the sunniest Irish weather I have ever seen. I got a better tan there than I ever have abroad! Combining that with the absolutely STUNNING sunsets, Cill Mhurbigh beach, clear blue water and the unique rocky landscape and unusual formations, I have never been anywhere more naturally beautiful. The cracked surface of the landscape marks out much of the land in a grid pattern kwon formally as glints and grykes. The clints are the flat blocks of limestone can cover the land while grykes are the deep straight fissures which cut through the clint blocks. The karst limestone landscape of the Aran Islands and The Burren was formed by a Glacier during the Ice-Age which cleared the land of any plant and soil material leaving the bare rock exposed. The grykes between the clints were formed by water cutting through the softer parts of the rock.
