The cemetery next to the Church of the Holy Family is terraced and beautiful. When you walk up to the top of the hill it's on, you can see for miles.

It was a beautiful drive through that part of Donegal. I hope to work in some time to capture more of the area in March.

For what it's worth the Bank closed in Glenties, as did Sonny's Pub. The Pal's Pizza is now an Apache Pizza and K2 spices gave way to Afghani kebab. This is as of November 2023.
