The Ring of Kerry

The weather was a bit better for our drive around the Ring of Kerry than the day before.

                            

How did I ever get along without Google Maps? I have a terrible sense of direction and even managed to get us lost with it. Or maybe that's not the way to put it. As Morgan Rock Loehr put it in the New Yorker , "I hesitate to use the word 'lost' because 'not all those who wander are lost.' But I don't know where I am."

Getting lost led to a beautiful walk. . . 

. . . to some gorgeous scenery.

 

"Looking back from the great civilizations of twelfth-century France or seventeenth-century Rome, it is hard to believe that for quite a long time--almost a hundred years--western Christianity survived by clinging to places like Skillig Michael, a pinnacle of rock eighteen miles form the Irish coast, rising seven hundred feet out of the air."
