Tom and Sue's Adventures Continue: HodgePodge

I've been looking back over my photo's and realize there are a few stops we've made over the past few months that I have not posted. Mostly they were repeat visits, or not enough to say about them to write a whole page. So I'm putting them together here, under HodgePodge. (This way I can link any photo's too.)

On our second tip to the Cliffs of Moher the weather was not as stellar. Still spectacular, just not very clear.

We drove through The Burren National Park. Now this was an unique place. It's windswept landscape is made up of mostly bedrock and limestone. This is also where you'll find one of the over 100 dolmans in Ireland, the Poulnabrone Tomb. (dates back to the neolithic period 2900-4200 BC) Numerous caves inhabit the mountains and in the town of Ballyvaughan sits the Burren school of Art.

There are a dozen or so stone circles in Ireland, we found the Drombeg Stone Circle down around Cork. In addition to the circle, there are the ruins of dwelling and cooking place. The cremated remains of an adolescent was found during an excavation in the early 1950's which dated back to 800 BC.
