Today, Wednesday the 20th, we all joined up in the canteen and we were ready to depart the day
for Wicklow. Despite the detrimental blow of no wifi on the bus, we were all having a good time
just singing songs and playing games with each other. We stopped at the statue of Patrick
Kavanagh where we learned about his rural upbringing and farming background. We then read
some of his sonnets and discussed the statue. Then we were off to the mountains. After a quick
stop for food, we arrived and were taken aback by the beauty of the mountain landscape and
rivers that run through it. We even got to walk around the river and jump across using the rocks.
Unfortunately, Troy got a little wet but nothing terrible. Then, we drove to the Guinness Lake
where we took some beautiful pictures all while being a little scared of the steep edge. Next, we
drove to Glendalough. We were given a nice tour of the monastic area and the ruins that were
remaining. After that, we took a nice group walk to the lake. We spent some time skipping rocks,
hopping around the waterfall, or just relaxing in the field. We then walked back up where we all
enjoyed some delicious lunches and ice cream. Finally, we drove back to Dublin, and we were
able to see beautiful campus of University College of Dublin. We're on to our last full day in
Dublin tomorrow, and I think I speak for everybody when I say this trip has gone too quickly.
