WICKLOW, Ireland (AP) — The road winds across the spine of the mountains, past a seemingly endless wilderness of heather-covered bogs, lakes, waterfalls, pine forests and trails. There is an eerie desolation to the beauty — lonely and lovely, no buildings or people, just bog cotton, heather and gorse, wild deer, sheep and wispy clouds that sweep in and envelop everything in a feathery mist. The mountains are home to all sorts of historical treasures, from a 5,000-year-old passage grave (an ancient... Читать дальше...
