In #Sligo, one year ago, my daughter's school had started and everything was very exciting. The same day friends invited me to a pub, and I met a lovely American girl, Ruby, who worked and travelled in Europe. During the next weeks we became friends, and before she left to the Azores, where her parents came from, she gave me some beautiful tiny #Polaroids of our walks. It's her on the top and me (with dog) on the bottom.

Carrowkeel megalithic cemetery
This cluster of passage tombs in south County #Sligo, #Ireland was built in the 4th millennium b. Chr, during the #Neolithic era. The monuments are on the Brickleave Hills (An Bricshliabh, 'the speckled hills'), overlooking Lough Arrow.
The Carrowkeel tombs are considered one of the "big four" passage tomb cemeteries in Ireland, along with Carrowmore, Brú na Boínne and Loughcrew.

Or in the evening Tide
We loved you

May God with you abide
