I’m a big hiker, but I assumed walking would be my main physical activity while I was in Ireland. That and hoisting pints of Guinness on a regular basis. Those 16 ounces constitute some sort of workout, don’t they?
But then a lovely local woman and friend of one of my tour-mates introduced us to Slieve Gullion, the highest peak in County Armagh, at about 1,900 feet.
It was a windy scramble up the rocks to get to the top. Those two rounded formations are burial cairns.
The reward after the hike.
I’m just getting back from a two-month stay in San Diego and have a ton to do to get resettled, so the next photos post will be longer. 🙂

thanks.
My pleasure, Ron! (I owe you an email. I’m getting resettled in Taos, but will respond in the next few days.)
Hi Deonne,
Yes those guinness beers are quite heavy, like a malted milk shake, haha!
What a GORGEOUS PHOTO, I love how it ends up pulling your eye way down all the mossy green into the asure blue below and then all those many shapes of fairy~clouds like whip cream on top; wheres the cherry>>>>
Thank you for sharing it with us!
