donegal part 2


Donegal County is beautiful. There are no other words to explain mountains, vibrant green landscape, coastlines and the edge of the earth. My travel group arrived on Thursday evening to our thatched roof cottage. We enjoyed a dinner then had our team meeting where we shared our goals for our time here. Friday we spent exploring the area around our cottage. We traveled to several beaches and coastlines. My favorite coastline was Port. You really feel like you are at the edge of the earth, the edge of reason. The shore just stops and the ocean begins. The cove just opens up into the unknown. Saturday we explored some more and later returned to Port and the cove. The interns and I then climbed up a steep mountian covered in sheep crap. What a liberating experience! Standing on top of a mountain with the edge of it dropping off one side into the ocean, the sea in front of you and more mountains behind you. Standing on the edge. Just you and the wind. All thoughts are gone and all you hear is your heart and all you see is into the great unknown. Nothing but you and adventure at your fingertips. What liberation. What freedom. What treasure.
