An Encounter at Glendalough

While walking through Glendalough last year with some friends from Montana, a tour guide called  Bill Bodger  from Wild Wicklow Tours approached us and began to tell us about the history of Glendalough. He told us a bit of a local joke- ' if you're looking for a husband or wife you should walk clockwise around the round tower three times, if you wanted to rid yourself of one, walk around the other way.'

Then Bill told us this.....

 'Six years ago I had two young Policemen visit from New York...They had been working on Ground Zero without a break for 36 days...and they said when they visited here (Glendalough) the weight of the world lifted off their shoulders...so there is a spirituality here, those guys felt it'
