Adventures With Felicia - Knocknarea

Haley was still sick, and Zach was a no-show, so Connor, Felicia and I went to Knocknarea on December 30, 2014 - also known as Felicia's 20th birthday!

We marveled that the horse didn't try to leap over the little fence, but he stayed where he was and got his nose pets, looked for apples, and then went back to eating his grass. 

It was a chilly, windy day - but NOTHING like the day I went up by myself!  I didn't have to brace myself to take photos and I didn't get flattened to the ground when I got to the top, so it was a treat!  It was also another  dry, sunny day in Ireland - woohoo!  We walked around more of the paths while we were up there, and saw the overlook to Strandhill.  It was actually quite crowded, though - lots of people were trekking to the top and walking around. 

I am glad I went up in October as I had the hill to myself that day, making it quite a spiritual experience  - but then, any day on Knocknarea is a great day to be alive!

I title this picture:  EEJITS ON THE CAIRN.

Being a rule-breaker or risk-taker is one thing, but damaging a 5000 year old monument is just selfish. There, I've said my piece on it.

Can't leave off with that, so I will leave off with a close-up of the picture I like to call:  Connor the Munchkin or, Connor the Representative of the Lollipop Guild.  Hahahahaha!!  Look at his grimace!  Cheers from Knocknarea!
