HE SAID:

Newgrange is amazing.  Not much is known about it but the basics are that it's an ancient tomb that I believe was created 500 years before the pyramids in Egypt.  They used no cement to keep the structure in tact.  They made it so that during one day a year, the sun will shine though small door and illuminate the inside of the tomb.  Why?  No one knows, perhaps it's for religous reasons?  Perhaps it has something to do with the dead in the tomb?  Or, perhaps Stacy can explain it better than me since she is a better listener?

We checked in at our hotel,  Dunboyne Castle; www.DunboyneCastleHotel.com.  What a great place!
