Portal Tomb

The first place we stopped off at on our second day in Ireland was an overlooking view of the area of Burren. In order to get to the platform to do so you must pass under a really cool old archway as you see above.  It is a really lovely area but once again every way you look is pretty much a perfect view so I will show the best ones that I got.
This was the over looking area it was really spectacular and also, if you can possible pick it out,  The castle spire to the right side of the screen is correlated with the school which was pretty awesome and the school is really badass and has a lot of nice studio space.

The Next area we went to was the Portal Tomb. It is a big tourist attraction and has something possible to do with a burial site for large amounts of people around 3000 B.C. if i am correct there were also apparently mass graves in the surrounding area due to the potato famine.
The above image is the Portal Tomb it had only recently been roped off because tourists use to stand on top of it as well as carve their names in the bottom of the large slab. so that has been stopped.
