| South Leinster Way would now take me along country roads, up a hill, to something on the map called Nine Stones |
 |
| I had no idea what Nine Stones would be exactly, but I imagined some tall monolithic stones aligned in a significant way, but anyway, a great walk doesn't require a destination, right? |
 |
| I walk down the road with my arm out feeling the grass a lot. I can't explain why. Scattering grass makes me feel like some kind of Johnny GrassSeed |
 |
| So many people in Ireland have a great view out their back windows |
 |
| This guy didn't care about the view, he just wanted out and he almost had his escape figured out. His enthusiasm for getting that gate opened made me think I was one opposable thumb away from getting attacked by a horse. |
 |
| At the top was an amazing view where I ate lunch and sat for a couple of hours |
 |
| Oh and there were some anti-climactic stones which may or may not have been left here in modern times. It wasn't false advertisement, though, that's nine stones alright |
 |
| The walk down was treeless, so the view stretched for miles |
 |
| This was one of the most beautiful days on the hike since I left the western coast |
 |
| Ireland is trying to keep it beautiful with many acres devoted to wind power |
