Suna is at the very northern tip of Ireland. This beautiful and mysterious place has a combination of dramatic landscape cliffs, the stormy North Atlantic waters, idyllic soft green pastures, and the volcanic rock of Giant’s Causeway, a World Heritage site. The weather is tempestuous, much like the wonderful Irish novels of some of her favorite authors, including George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, and James Joyce. Suna is also drawn to the sea tradition of the Irish, who were also among the greatest shipbuilders. Just a short distance down the coast is the City of Belfast, where the legendary Titanic was constructed.
