Cliffs of Moher and More! ;)

We traveled to and explored the beautiful site of the Cliffs of Moher and then an ancient tomb that presages the tombs of Giza in Egypt. The Cliffs of Moher were extremely beautiful. In the background wafted up the musical strains of an Irish lute playing a sweet Irish tune that lent an air of magic to the site. By the way, I dropped a few coins in the musician's box as I was leaving the site.























The following pictures are of the tomb we visited in the highly protected Burean area. A few of the girls were yelled at for picking the flowers at the site. It was really neat to see the ancient tomb of the Celtic people from many centuries ago. You'll have to tell me what you think of the pictures. The tomb is in the shape of a dolmen which was thought to be a doorway into the spirit world.

Wow, it's so beautiful! I bet the pictures don't do it justice though.

Interesting doorway. As far a the girls picking flowers, I guess the have to draw the line somewhere right? :)
Can't wait to see more.
