Getting up early on a Tuesday morning was not the most pleasant thing in the world, but our site visit today was totally worth it. We went to Glendalough, which is about an hour away from Greystones. The only bad thing about the trip is that we were literally walking on ice. Because Glendalough is located in the mountains, there was still snow, and it was going nowhere fast. The snow on the main paths around the site had been packed down so much that it was just pure ice. The only way around the site was by either skating in hiking boots on the uneven ice or jumping across the paths to stay in the snow and holding on to the old gravestones for dear life.

After exploring the site, we went on a hike. I don’t know if I would actually qualify it as a “hike” because the path was at least 5-ft wide. Most of the path was fairly clear of ice, which was nice especially considering there was a fairly steep drop off on one side.

A few of us turned back mid-way through because we were absolutely frozen and the bottoms of our jeans were soaked. We went back to the hotel and drank tea. It was a very relaxing day overall.

(One thing about the video... the titles at the end decided they wanted to malfunction and cut of the last letter of the last words. I couldn't figure out how to fix it.)
