Glendalough: Gay Murder
After lunch we went up to Glendalough and saw the lakes and the waterfall, which was as dramatic and torrential as you'd expect.
This is all part of Saint Kevin's Way. Saint Kevin was a nobleman sent into the church to sort himself out with booklearning and the like, and who lived halfway up the valley side. Apparently his betrothed fair maiden followed him to Glendalough and climbed all the way up to encourage him to come back and fulfill his marital duties. Being of the other persuasion he threw her down into the lake and killed her. This celebrated act of self-sacrifice (on his part) led to his beatification ! Bejazus !
The rain set in again, so we retired to the pub and then drove up to the top of the valley where the recent film Reign of Fire was shot. The set was built from an old lead mine - sadly now once again an old lead mine.
On the way back, the weather cleared and we visited a stone circle near Hollywood. I really liked it there, it felt good to me.
I left a plectrum as an offering, John found a really nice stone, and Dana found a single magic mushroom. I was very impressed.
That night Dana cooked (with my able food-gimp assistance) - cinnamon, allspice, eggs, meat, aubergine, spinach - lovely flavours.
