Trinity in Ireland by Jason
After months of planning, preperation and fund raising, the pilgrims from Trinity Episcopal in Tulsa finally get to begin their Irish journey. The team arrived to a cold and rainy Ireland, which according to them, was a nice change from the 104 degree heat that they had just left.
We loaded up the bus and then headed straight to the Ciffs of Moher, where they walked around soaked to the bone and admired the beauty of the cliffs. We had a quick lunch and then visited Caherconnell, a 1000 year old fort and then Poulnabrone Doleman, the Burren Mountain’s most famous megalithic burial tomb.
The team, exhausted from jet lag could barley keep their eyes open on the drive to Esker Monestary, our home away from home for the week. When we finally arrived, we got our room assignments, had a great dinner, a short meeting and then headed off to bed. Tomorrow, the team will be refreshed from a great night sleep and ready to tell you about their journey in their own words.
