 We rented a small car so we could explore the rural parts of Ireland. Our first stop was Glendalough, a monastic settlement dating back to the 6th century (July 18). |
 Glendalough again. This tower is one of the iconic images of Ireland. |
 Kristen respectfully explores ruins at Glendalough. |
 We couldn't resist stopping at this nameless tower house that we happened upon while driving in the countryside. |
