Very cool thanks for sharing. I've been to London enough times to get sick of it, but the English countryside is beautiful and always worth seeing and I hear the Emerald Isle and the Scottish highlands are even prettier. One day.....
You shouldn't have taken the pictures in such good weather....people might get the wrong idea!
Newgrange predates the Pyramids by bout 1000yrs by the way.
Now I feel homesick...

I've tromped all of Scottland looking at castles. It looks like I've got another place to add to my list. Great pics. It looks like it was an amazing time.

Okay I'm chiming in. Beautiful pictures. I've tromped all over GB looking at castles, cathedrals, mounds, stones etc. Can't get enough of it. Dying for a trip to walk and/or cycle Hadrian's Wall. And a hike at Snowdon. and.....
Thanks for sharing the pics and sending me dreaming! AHHHH Of course, they don't have the rockies or the smokies now do they??

Did u go to blarney castle at all? Dublin? Waterford?
How long was your trip? Sounds like you had a great time. I have relatives in County Cork, and went and visited them for the first time a couple years back. Great times!
I'm ready to go back!

I would prefer to stomp all over Scotland visiting the distilleries ... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Nice pics of Ireland, btw. Thanks for sharing.

wow lots of responses hehe. Just got home from work. I was there for 12 days for a family reunion. Made sure I got out to the pubs every night, met lots of locals! The trip was Drogheda -> Ballaghadreen (with stops in Carrick on Shannon) -> Galway -> Bunratty -> Cliffs of Moher -> Dublin -> Drogheda.
New Grange is just west of Drogheda. I had tried to post more pics, but it was only allowing 8 per post! I was too tired to mess with it longer. I'll put up more tonight!
It was awesome, but I was drinking WAY too much guinness. Time to get back to eating healthier. Found out today my PT test is next week - good timing on that one
It's about 3 years old, it can only do 2.0 mega pixel max. I didn't have the cash to buy a new camera so I just bought a bigger memory card and tried to fill it up!
Some castle in the middle of a cow field, I forget the name.
St James Gate! Yay Guinness.
Monasterboise, a round tower built around 900 AD. That high cross in the middle of the pic was something like 5.5m high and is about the same age of the tower.
I really am homesick now...back for a wedding in Sept will have to make a trip to Dub!
