A hike of a different kind.

We are settling into a nice pattern where we explore a new city one weekend and relax in the country the next. This past weekend we drove south of Dublin to Wicklow which is on the Irish Sea. We continue to enjoy driving the scenic route through the rural areas. This time we drove through the small hamlet of Enniskerry among others. As we dart through all the small back roads I often found myself wondering if I am really on a two way street . One of the pictures I loaded onto the blog this time shows our rental car in the middle of the road – this shows you how narrow the back roads can be (yes this is a two way road).

Once we arrived in Wicklow we picnicked in a park alongside the Sea, the landscape was beautiful but it was a little chilly and windy. After lunch we walked along the coast for a few miles to an old light house. Along the way we found small beaches, cliffs and caves. We have done a great deal of hiking in Colorado (and other spots in the States) but this was our first “coastal” experience.

Next weekend we are back to the city starting with Rome.
