Today, I took a tour, along with about 60 other people, to Kilkenny, Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough, and a sheep farm!

In Kilkenny, we explored Kilkenny Castle and climbed the Round Tower at St. Canice’s Cathedral.  Next, we moved into the Wicklow Mountains, viewing the Wicklow Gap from the highest point.  From there, our big bus traveled the winding roads to Glendalough where we toured the Monastic City and hiked to the two lakes.  At our final stop, a sheep farm that has been in the same family’s hands for over four generations, we watched a border collie herd sheep and learned about the farm.  I enjoyed, too, holding a two-week old lamb!
