Killarney National Park

A couple days ago we visited Killarney National Park. The park was sliced up by glaciers, scooping out a series of lakes and glens. The Ireland travel book (thank you Dave and Stephanie for gifting us the book) describes the place as “a paradise of tree-carpeted mountain peaks and blue waters, making for unparalleled hiking, biking and climbing. We slept in the car the two nights we were there and enjoyed a couple day hikes and hitchhiked for the first time. We hiked three-quarters of the way around a lake then decided to hitch a ride instead of walk along a dangerous two-lane road. Did I mention that the roads here are like our bike paths at home. Luckily we returned the rental car with both mirrors still attached.
