We slept in a bit due to the late evening. The first activity was the visit at Knoth at Brú na Bóinne in County Meath. It took archeologists 40 years to expose these impressive structures from over 5,000 years ago.
The afternoon was absolutely delightful as we visited Causey Farm. Activities included traditional soda bread making demonstration (and consumption later), a hay ride, walking in a peat bog, milking a cow, visiting sheep, lambs, pigs, piglets, and geese.
In the evening, Barb and I went to The Brazen Head, the oldest pub in Ireland – established in 1198!
