...PSYCH, we rented a golf...for four people plus luggage...yeah, that was fun. not.

anyway, we drove off into the Irish countryside and found our way to Newgrange, a celtic tomb that, for a couple of centuries, looks only like any other hill in the area....

the entrance and HUGE slab, one of the most famous pieces of megalithic art...check out the spirals, apparently a huge part of the art and beliefs of these people

so, that was pretty cool, especially seeing the use of the cruciform chamber in the main burial room, showing how christianity stole aspects from other religions/systems of belief...

next, we moved on to our shelter for the night, another B&B

here's my attempt at taking garden shots

see that opening on the bottom of the ramparts? you basically lie down face up, head to the ramparts, and drop yourself through there to kiss the stone...
