Glendalough!

Or in Gaelic, Gleann Dá Loch, meaning Glen (valley) of two lakes is a ruined village which contains a former monastery located in County Wicklow. It was founded in the 6th century by St. Kevin then later destroyed by British troops in 1398. Damn British. It was nice to get out of the city even if it was only for a few hours. Our friend Luke from England came with us which was nice because he had a car making it easier to get around. Once out of the city the empty roads seem to have been draped over the rolling hills making for great driving. Too bad I cant take advantage of them! The surrounding countryside is beautiful with more large boulders than you have ever seen.







This is what is left of the village, a large tower and monastery:
