March 20th - Visiting the Countryside

Today we took a day trip to see some of the countryside of Ireland. We got to walk around Glendalough, a beautiful spot that used to be a monastary. It has two beautiful lakes - here's a picture of us in front of one! We got to do a lot of exploring.

The trip also included a drive through the Wicklow Mountains and to a great spot to view Guinness Lake. Much like a pint of Guinness, the lake is almost black in color, and they actually brought in pale sand to make it look even more like Guinness! It was really windy, hence my hair being a bit crazy in the picture.
