April 24, 2024 

After returning from the knitting tour in Ireland last October, I finished the headbands from the Inis Mór workshop with Una McDonagh. In the morning before our workshop, we bussed to the visitor center and then hiked to Dún Aonghasa, an ancient stone fort, which is over 3,000 years old. On the way to the fort we stopped at Teampall Mac Duach (the Church of St. Mac Duach), an early 9th century (?) church dedicated to St Colmán Mac Duach.

 It was appropriately foggy and misty on the hike to Dún Aonghasa.

After our hike, we took time to do some shopping in the village shops.
