The Slow Road
Two Women Wandering the World
We spent two weeks working at a hostel in Dunfanaghy in the northern county of Donegal. Like much of Ireland, Donegal is full of sheep.
The area around Dunfanaghy is beautiful and rugged, full of mountains, water, and heather.
Our workplace: Corcreggan Mill inn and hostel (flying the UN flag)
This little cottage apartment was our home
Leo the alarm lamb woke us every morning at 7
A beautiful place to dry the hostel's endless laundry

New Lake was formed in 1917, when blowing sand dunes cut off a former estuary from the sea

Ireland has dramatic and constantly changing clouds

And lots of heather
This perfect knob is called Fairy Hill (it sounds better in Gaelic)
