I was so tired after walking over Dublin and Glendalough on Monday that, after walking Greg to the Arlington to meet his coworkers on Tuesday, I headed back to our apartment and took a long nap.

Ireland, Day 2 (Part 4 – Lough Tay and Glendalough/Wicklow Mountains)
At 1:45, it was time to meet up with my tour group at the Molly Malone statue for an afternoon trip to Glendalough. (It was a bus tour through Paddywagon Tours.) On the way, we also made a quick stop at Lough Tay (also known as The Guinness Lake) in the Wicklow Mountains. Once we got […]
