Dublin & Glendalough - Oct. 8-9, 2018

Dublin, capital of the Republic of Ireland & home of Guinness beer & world records
Tour of the Guinness facilities and a free beer!

One of my favorite sites in the Republic of Ireland - a 45 minute drive from Dublin in the Wicklow Mountains.   Glendalough comes from the Vikings and means  land of two lakes

Entrance to the medieval monastic settlement founded by St Kevin in 6th century in Glendalough

Round or bell tower used to summon the monks to prayer built sometime between 900 and 1200

View of the bell tower from the ruins of the church

 Very serene place

Beautiful valley on the road to Glendalough
