Ferne Arfin, guide to Senior Travel at About, spent some time in Ireland, among other things exploring the megalithic tomb called Newgrange in the Brú na Bóinne valley during one chilly winter. The waiting list to be inside Newgrange when the winter solstice splits open the darkness of the interior is years long (although there is now an annual lottery system). But Ferne's group was treated to a light and sound show reproducing what the solstice sunrise looks like, an awe-inspiring experience.
