Last Full Day!

Post by: Carter Vari and Brigid Morrissey

Today was our last full day in Ireland. While this trip has been full of fun and adventure, we are definitely ready to come home and enjoy our summer vacation.  This morning, we drove 2 hours to the town of Trim.  We toured Trim Castle, which is a medieval castle.  It was used in the movie "Braveheart".  After the tour, we traveled to Newgrange, a neolithic passage tomb built in 3000 BC.  It was still in good shape!  We got to travel into the tomb and saw displays of abstract art from the people in the stone age.  Today was a beautiful, sunny day and we all got some color.  We returned to Dublin after Newgrange to get ready to come home tomorrow.
