Glendalough

You're wish is my command! I felt a little like my sisters...finding the perfect shot, and I must admit, these are a few of my best shots! We're in the Wicklow Mountains. There are a couple of lakes at the top of the "mountain" where a hermet named Kevin - later made into a saint, went to escape and ponder life. I can see why! These are some images of St. Kevin's monastery in a place called Glendolough (pronounced Glen - dough - lock). It was so peaceful - except for the drive to get here...the road was wide enough for half of the car, the other half was in the ditch!

Baile Atha Cliath

After 20 years of wishing one day to go...I finally did! Here's a view from my hotel the first night. We stayed at The Clarence...yep, Bono's (and others) hotel! You really couldn't tell that there was any affiliation with U2 other than knowing the owners. The service was impeccable, but parking cost nearly $40 per night! Our room had a view of the River Liffey and part of Temple Bar.

So of course I had to hit all the U2 hot spots before the rest of the group came! Hence...Bono's street sign on his brick wall that I lovingly added an autograph to, me in front of his beautiful ornate walls, and then of course, the shot into his gates after the garderner opened them!

More to come later! Oh...the title of this post is the Gaelic form of Dublin! Love to all!
