We go on a day trip to Glendalough. Ride the bus into the mountains in County Wicklow at about 8:30. We get there and take a walk around the museum and watch a film about the monastic site there and head out on our own onto the trails. I walk on my own past the upper lake and it is starting to get really cold and windy so I decide to turn around and head back to find the rest of the group because I have no idea what time it is. The view is excellent and the cemetery near the monastic ruins is very cool. I think about St. Kevin and can see why this site was chosen for a place of religious worship, solitude, and private reflection.
