Well, I found out what the Burren is; turns out it's pretty fascinating (Lisa was right again).  It's vast amounts of a limestone shelf created, I don't know, a million years ago, by glaciers.  It covers a huge area, and is home to 2/3's of Irelands unique flora and fauna.  It's also home to some of the most ancient man-made constructs in the world.  The tomb that we saw yesterday, was made in the middle of the stone age, and pre-dates the pyramid of Giza.  The tomb is slightly elevated above the surrounding environs, those being a barren landscape of rock and wildflowers.  Combine that with a swiftly rolling volumnous grey cloud-cover, and you get a pretty mystical and powerful scene.  We're heading out to the cliffs today, and I'm anxious to get there, so I'm making it short today.  People should be arriving shortly, hope you're all excited!
