Enniskerry, County Wicklow

We spent our second day in Enniskerry, just south of Dublin. My dad's friend's daughter's fiance's parents own a bed and breakfast there, so that is where we stayed. They - Ann & Noel Barry - are marvelous people. We drove to their place from our hotel in Dublin and, after getting lost a couple of times, we eventually found our way to their house. We went for a walk up the drive next door for a bit, then went out for a drive with Noel. He showed us the Wicklow Mountains, including Glendalough - a place over 1000 years old that once housed seven churches and a lookout tower that still stands (pictured below).

We stopped for a pint on the way home at Noel's "local," then we briefly stopped by a man named Neil Lenaugh's place - he told us all about Galway and what we should see/do while we are there. Then we went home for a fantastic dinner of corned beef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and beet chutney - prepared by Ann.

In the morning, we had a traditional Irish breakfast before pushing off for a long day of driving to Kinsale. It was a phenomenal stop - I can't wait to go back.

I have a rather poor Internet connection right now (in Kinsale) so I will post more, larger pictures a couple of short film clips later.
