+1 & -1

ON THE LAST DAY of the year we went to the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin. It was beautiful. They had the majesty of nature indoors! And there was squirrells! YAY!








ON THE FIRST DAY of the year we went hiking around Glendalough. When we started out it was very cold but pleasant. We were a bit hungover from the night before but generally in good spirits. We then climbed the mountain next to the river and the icy rocks took all of our energy. We looked down to the valley seeing how far we came... there was a stream running from beneath us and mountains on either side. We then found out the trail went around the mountain, not down it! A 9km walk was ahead of us! And it was getting dark... And cold.

AND DARK!


Scary, exhausting, picturesque fun!
