holy day
today we went on a field trip to Glendalough (pro. glen-da-lock, Irish: Gleann da lough) the site of an 10th century monastary, only and hour south of Dublin. It was so wonderful to be out of the city (I'm a country girl at heart), see some sheep, see the Ireland that I came back for, and get some fresh air. There is a church on the compound that is still standing in its original granite from the 12th century, roof and all. The round tower is perfect, stretching straight up to the sky. The grounds around the monastary are gorgeous... this footage does not do it justice.
Here's a taste... just another tourpost.
cheers.
