It's been awhile

First of all, I apologize for my lack of updates. We were traveling in Galway, Ireland for a week were we had no internet access, then when we returned I fell ill and have just now recuperated. I will post an update shortly. Thanks for your patience!

Last week we visited a place called Newgrange. Newgrange is a passage tomb and is considered the oldest architectural site in the world. It is dated to be created around 5000 B.C. which means it's older than the Pyramids. We were blessed enough to be able to go inside the tomb and look around. Just outside of the tomb is a rock that is reported to be the most photographed rock in the world. Although it was completely incredible to be able to witness this firsthand, it was frigid cold out due to the fact that we were on top of a hill where the wind seems to be at it's highest velocity. I will add pictures of our trip soon.

Care Package Suggestions

Jolly Ranchers, Equate Allergy Pills (Cheap Wal-mart brand... non-drowsy), Ice Tray (Irish don't use ice for anything), decorative socks (one's you can buy at the dollar store), USB drive (it doesn't have to hold much) or a CD-RW cd (so I can transfer work from my computer to a community computer with no internet), Stationary, Mint Gum... This is just a suggestion, not thing more :)
