Took a fantastic tour today with Kevin's class. We went to Klymore Abbey and Omey Island. The Abbey was beautiful and carries a wonderful love story...someday Kevin will build me a castle! Omey Island is an island that can only be reached a low tide... we drove across the ocean floor...six hours later the same area would be covered in 7 feet of water when the tide came in. I have to follow the tour bus as for insurance reasons the kids are not allowed on the bus. When the bus went out on the ocean floor I just followed... I figured if it could hold up a bus it could hold up my little car.

The island is magnificent and is the ancient burial ground dating back thousands of years. Weather and rabbits are causing human remains to rise to the surface so you can reach down and find bones. See Sam holding a human tooth...yuk!
