We slept in today. It
was a well-earned rest. I think we all
needed some down time to process all we had done and seen in the last couple of
days. When we finally headed out, it was
well into lunch time and we stopped at a pub to have some eats.
Once we got going, we headed to show Crys and Bry our all
time favorite place—Newgrange. I’ve
already blogged about how magnificent this passage tomb is, so I won’t go into
it again here. We were just in time for
the last tour of the day. We were
treated to partly sunny skies. The views
from Newgrange are just breathtaking.
Unfortunately, we were not able to see Knowth at this time because it is
closed for the winter. Instead, we spent
time in the interpretive center.
On the tour with us, we met a couple and their twin
girls. The husband was a photographer
from Ireland, but his wife is from Atlanta, GA.
They live in Atlanta now, but he wanted to show his girls his home. It was really great to talk to them. But, by then we were closing down the place
and were being politely shoo-ed out the door.
Next we headed to show off the beauty of the Irish
countryside. We took them on the
Slane/Navan/Kells tour. But, we were a
little late in the day to be cruising around.
The sun was setting and it gets difficult to see the rolling green hills
in the dark. We ate dinner in the Round
Restaurant, which is literally on a turn circle and then came home.
