Mount Falcon/Croagh Patrick

We stayed at this amazing lodge/resort called Mount Falcon.  Such beautiful surroundings and so peaceful.  I loved it!!





We did get to go to Croagh Patrick for the first time.  This we what Wikipedia says about it if you're curious:

It has long been seen as a holy mountain. It was the focus of a prehistoric ritual landscape, and later became associated with Saint Patrick, who is said to have spent forty days fasting on the summit. There has been a church on the summit since the 5th century; the current church dates to the early 20th century. Croagh Patrick is climbed by thousands of pilgrims every year on Reek Sunday, the last Sunday in July, a custom which goes back to at least the Middle Ages.
