Hello from Glenveagh National Park in Letterkenny, Ireland!

There’s something here for everyone: a lake, a castle, an outdoor playground for kids, walking trails. The folks at the front desk saw me in all my motorcycle gear and offered to watch over my helmet and backpack as I went for a hike. So nice of them! 🥺 This definitely made the hike more enjoyable for me and I felt lighter not having to lug that extra stuff around. I love my @scorpionexo Cali helmet, but carrying this while hiking proves to be difficult.

During my hike, I was lucky to speak to a steward of the land who showed me a wooden cabin off in the distance where a family lived and was affected by The Great Famine. They were turning the house into a museum. I asked him if it was a little creepy and he agreed that it was since it was abandoned for so long and no one else lived close by. I didn’t want to go any closer.

On that note, Glenveagh National Park is a must visit! 😺 Super calm to stroll through and the employees are stellar folks who are kind to motorcyclists.

Kindness comes in all forms.

It's March and what better way to celebrate it than by going to Ireland for a month?!

Don't worry about how much money your muse has because it is an all expenses paid vacation by the mayor! It's a way of him thanking you all for being such a...wonderful group of residents.

The only thing that is not paid for is whatever you want to do while in Ireland, tours, going exploring, etc.

Unlike the rest of our events, this event is mandatory! We will be staying in Glenveagh Castle. Yes, there will be roommates and the only people exempt from that, are those that are married.

Keep an eye out for that list!

This trip will take place from Friday, March 1st to Monday, April 1st!

Please like once you have read this!

It’s Sunday and that means it’s Funday! Haha. As previously noted, we are changing things up in 2024. Each Sunday Funday will be from the first Sunday of each month and go until the month changes. This will allow everyone more time to participate. This month's Sunday Funday event is going to be either horseback riding on the beach or hiking through one of the many trails that the Glenveagh National Park has to offer! The choice is fully yours, but when you post your starters, please clarify which one you are doing! Please tag all starters photos, etc,as: rededgesundayfunday,  and rededgesundayfunday only!

Our time in Donegal felt like our busiest, and we did so much every day. We went to GTEIC, a digital hub for the community that allows people to work for all sorts of companies while still remaining close to home, and after touring the facilities we learned about the Irish language and how some of our names are Irish. Many place names in Irish have an underlying meaning that tells you more about the location, while the English version of the same name is kind of just a mispronunciation of the Irish, and as such doesn’t give you any insight into the location. We learned that the English word Dublin comes from an Irish phrase that means dark pool, along with some other cool facts. After our time at GTEIC, we went to Castle Glenveagh. I think that this is probably the castle that I had the most fun at. The walk up to the castle was pretty long, but it was incredibly beautiful and scenic. I really enjoyed the food we got at the top of the castle. I had probably the best sandwich ever crafted and some absolutely delicious carrot cake. After our long walk, it was severely needed. The castle had beautiful gardens for us to look at, but I was a little sad that I did not have time to go inside. 

Our final day in Donegal was spent on an island called Gola. The island was basically only populated by sheep, which we saw so many of! I really really loved the island, it was so beautiful. We were guided through the island, and we learned a lot about its history and the people who used to live there. It was interesting to me to learn that even though many of the houses on the island were in disrepair, they were not completely abandoned. Families still owned them, and took pride in owning them. Jim shared that his family still owned the house his grandfather grew up in, and that his brother lived in it now. People here take pride in their history, and in caring for their family members. 

After climbing to the top of the highest point of Gola, it was time for us to leave. We headed back to the community center for an herbal remedies class. Margaret, our teacher, had learned everything from her mother, who learned from her mother, who learned from her mother. She gave us some sort of horrible bog water that tasted very bad, and she taught us about native plants and how they can be used for healing. Mary shared that when she first started teaching these classes she couldn’t speak much English, but that as time went on she was learning more and more. 

I really enjoyed spending time in this area, and I hope that I am able to visit again. I think I would really enjoy making watercolor illustrations of the landscapes here, especially on Gola.
