Hello from Navan, Meath, Irlenad -  I left the farm I was visiting on Sunday and headed for the Boyne valley.  It has been an educational and fun three days.  The first day I stayed in county Louth in a town called Ardee which is famous as Cuchulain country.  I then bussed to Drogheda in county Meath and stayed there.  I visited the famous new grange burial chamber, although nobody knows exactly what is was for so I shouldn't call it a burial chamber. It is a mound built in the earth complete with carvings.  The mound itself predates the pyramids which makes it stone age pre-Celtic.  The Celts were an iron age inhabitant of Ireland.  The mound has been occupied through the centuries by the Celts, early Christian and Norman Irish.  There is definitely a lot of mystery and its fun to think of why these things were built and how they were used ect.  It feels to me like a sort of energy line or lay line like the mystics have talked about for hundreds of years.  Today I took the bus to Navan and had a visit to the hill of Tara where Irish Kings were ceremonially  made.  It  is said to be the center of Ireland.  In the "Royal Seat" sits the Lia Fail, or stone of destiny.  It is said that the stone cries out when a king sits on it.  Tomorow I continue my journy along the Boyne river on into Kells to see some more history and then I am going to head to Cork to stay on another organic farm.  Traveling is so much fun and teaches me so much.  Bye.  Micah
