We found our nerve to drive the car again and headed south to Glendalough one of the major monastic city sites on the journey.  Glendalough was started by St. Kevin prior to the sixth centuryand had influence for hundreds of years afterwards as a base for Christian learning and mission.  I hiked up to the site of St. Kevins cell and met and Episcopal priest and his wife doing almost exactly what Marcia and I are doing.  The four of us had a great conversation together and made some plans to stay in contact.

It was wonderful to touch such and important piece of  Christian history.  Today we are headed north toward Downpatrick in Northern Ireland.
