Glendalough, Wicklow Day Trip

Less than an hour from the Urban/Suburban sprawl of Dublin lie the Wicklow Mountains.  Glendalough is one area where St. Kevin (what up!) established a hermitage in the 7th century AD roughly.  The countryside is beautiful, you can see all the way to the Irish Sea, and on a clear day such as the one we had on Saturday, the mountains of Whales.  There's not much to say about the day, so I'll just let the pictures do the talking.
