Ireland 2005

by TravellerMel - last update: Dec 30, 2008

Kevin and me at Newgrange

Newgrange

My brother and me at Newgrange - a 2000 year old neolithic burial mound. I'm *slightly* claustrophobic - I don't know what I would have done without Kevin keeping his hand at my back, and telling me I could make it. So glad I did - it is pretty incredible!
Kevin, Rebecca and me, High Cross at Monasterboice

High Cross at Monasterboice

One of the coolest places - the ruins of a church and it's ancient graveyard. This High Cross was my favorite of the trip. That's my brother Kevin and my friend Rebecca with me.
The View from Blarney Castle

The View from Blarney Castle

OK, so you CAN'T go to Ireland and NOT visit Blarney Castle, right? The view is stunning! Yes, I kissed the Blarney Stone - you have to lay down on your back, scoot out over the ledge of the castle, lean WAAAAYYYY dow while holding onto a railing - it was a little freaky!
Stone Circle

Stone Circle

I love this photo - it really is representative of the Ireland I saw. I was amazed at the various shades of green - the rock walls were everywhere, and the sheep... We were driving and saw a sign that said "Stone Circle", and 20 minutes down a steep, winding, dirt road, we arrived here. A detour well taken, I'd have to say...

 Thanks for your comments on my Copenhagen page. I love your cats :) I'm a cat owner myself and she's the most spoiled cat ever.

 Love your lists. Have you seen "Babette's Feast?" It's a favorite movie and I suspect you would like it. Thanks for your comment.

 Hi! Thanks for your comment! Feel free to pick my brain (or pages) for anything Egypt. I'm going back again next year and taking friends. Your pages are wonderful! Love the idea of a passport stamps page.
