These amazing passage tombs are estimated to be over 5000 years old which makes them older than the Egyptian pyramids. These prehistoric sacred sites are aligned in such a way so that the rays of the rising sun on the spring and autumnal equinoxes light up the tunnel leading to the heart of the mound. The site has a commanding view. Even with the rain and clouds last night I could still see the Wicklow/Dublin mountains (to the southeast), the Mournes (to the north east), a

One more aerial shot of the most famous passage tomb in Ireland - Newgrange. The massive mound sits on a small hill overlooking the Boyne river valley.

It is hard to believe that we had to put my sister and her family on an airplane this morning... We had an absolute blast getting to share our little corner of the world with them! It just went too quickly! I'll be posting photos over the next few days/week... for now - I'll share just a couple of quick pics from Trim Castle (built 1172). This amazing ruin of a castle was one of the best we have ever visited in Ireland. I'm glad that we got to see it for the first time w
