Today we went on a bus tour to Bru na Boinne. This is an ancient burial site. It is older than the Pyramids in Egypt. Even older than my Mom.
Here is the Wikipedia link if you are interested:

This huge mound houses a long passage way and only 3 little burial chambers. We were not allowed to take photos inside the chambers. This is one of the most important complex of Megalithic
sites in Europe. (Look at me spouting off like a scholar)
Little red dog was there but it was much too windy for him.
When we returned to Dublin we went searching for a place to eat supper and happened upon these fellows.
I think the drummer knows the flute player from my Facebook posting.
Later we passed by this statue of sweet Molly Malone, who sold cockles and mussels "alive, alive oh!"
OK. To bed now. An early start tomorrow as we head for Kilkenny.
