Happy Holidays!

No, it's not Christmas in July.  It's what we call 'vacation.'  We had a friend offer us their family home in Donegal so we accepted their hospitality for a week.  Donegal is a rugged, exciting, wild, beautiful northernmost county in the Republic.  What an amazing time we had!

Approaching 'Errigal' - Donegal's Highest Mountain

Trudging through the heavy bog of Errigal

Finally to the scree on Errigal - slow and difficult!
