Glendalough
Glendalough is a 6th century monastic retreat, or the ruins thereof. You can learn more about it here. Our driver, Manus, gave us the down and dirty tour and then cut us loose for two hours. We walked to the two lakes. There were tons of Irish families enjoying an Easter afternoon picnic. It was a nice day for it, albeit a bit chilly.

Here is the cathedral ruins...


I think this was a church. Notice the stone roof, I was impressed.


This is a beautiful example of a celtic cross.


The round tower.


The second lake, which was the farthest away...


The cheapest food I bought my entire vacation. The ice cream cone was only 2 Euro.
