Croagh Patrick

We went to Westport last week for my mums 60th birthday. The whole family went, 16 of us. My brother who lives in Australia came home to surprise her, she got quite emotional to say the least. We stayed in a log cabin in the countryside near croagh Patrick, which is one of the highest mountains in Ireland. A lot of Catholics visit this mountain for a pilgrimage, many of them climb it in their bare feet, which is crazy given the terrain. So we climbed this and it was a lovely day with my mum, brother and brother in law. The climb was enjoyable and so was the Guinness when we got back to the bottom.
