Two years ago I saw photos of this place and felt a strong affinity to it. I was simply drawn to its majestic towers. I think I must have been here in a past life or something.

Today my hope of visiting it was realized. We had a spectacular guide take us through the Rock of Cashel and explain its importance.

I took many photos and really enjoyed seeing this magnificent site.

Then we made the grueling drive to Galway for the arts festival there.

In the 1920's they made a list for the people that had family burried here. If you're name is on the list you can be burried here, once the list is finished the cemetary will be officially full.
