Yesterday we had wonderful weather for our tour of Carrowmore cemetary and Knocknarea. Carrowmore is a neo-lithic site predating the Celtic invasion of Ireland. The Irish thought the "passage tombs" or dolmens were doorways to the fairy world, and so many of the sites were preserved through the ages.
Then we climbed Knocknarea, a mountain south of Sligo, from which we had a spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding plains, mountains, and sea. Pictures don't do the slightest justice to it. But we've included a couple here, one of the whole gang and another of Alexa, Megan, Morgan, Emory, and Kristen (from left to right).
