welcome to the callenharty.com ireland trip day twelve page


Our last full day in Ireland was spent mostly in the car, driving from the western part of the country back across the center to our last night in Dublin. The next morning we woke up, went to the airport and headed home. While on the way back from the west coast to Dublin we made one major stop, at Newgrange, a 5,000 year old burial site just northwest of Dublin.
