Glen da Lough, Museum and Sunshine!

Today was our last day and of course the most beautiful!  We want to stay a while longer!
1.  Round tower from 11th century at a 5th century site (originally wood structures).
2.  Entrance into St. Kevin's Monastery
3.  Women's chapel:  there were 7-9 chapels on the grounds originally
4. Type of Mausoleum burial chamber
5.  St. Kevin's chapel
6. Window of the chapel
7. Fall color at the  visitor center of Round Tower
8.  Lunch at Wicklow Heather Restaurant:  beautiful village of Laragh.  Restaurant was filled with antiques.
9.  Close-up of monkey puzzle tree
10.  Valley view from the bus:  magnificent views and sunshine today.
11. Decorative hedge trimming to the ultimate.
12. Beautiful decorative door of the Dublin Archeological Museum:  saw antiquities and Bog Book--an ancient copy of the Psalms found during peat bog digging.
