Is it still morning back in the good, old, U S of A? It is 5:15 here is beautiful Ireland. We had a very smooth flight with only about 6 hours of waiting in line for check in, security, customs, etc! Neither of us slept during the flight, so we are running on adrenaline about now. Still have dinner of fish and chips at our beautiful Dunboyne Castle Hotel and then a spa treatment. Hope we don't fall asleep during the excitement!
The first is at Newgrange. It is an ancient burial tomb-I mean ancient-500 years older than the pyramids in Egypt. It was amazing. The other picture is of Trim castle. It is the oldest remaining Ango-Saxon castle in Ireland. It was so amazing. Dates back to around 1150. This is where several important parts of the movie Braveheart were filmed.
We have had an amazing first day. We will be heading to Donegal bright and early tomorrow morning-stopping at the famous Hill of Tara and the Belleek Pottery factory on our way.
Hope everyone is well back home. Jeff and Ruth, we climbed up and down 80 narrow, curved steps in that castle that reminded us so much of the tower in Bunratty!
Long-Distant hugs to Everyone.,
Bob and Deb
