Only 144 people a day, for only 90 days a year, are permitted on Skellig Michael, off southwestern Ireland. The crossing to get there can be rough and the island inhospitable and fragile. But this UNESCO world heritage site is worth the hassles. Early Christian monks 1,500 years ago and over centuries built a monastery on this rock. To see what they accomplished in such difficult conditions is inspiring. And climbing hand-built rock steps at the edges of cliffs makes for an epic Stairmaster workout. The island makes its debut on the big screen in the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII. The islet in the distance is Little Skellig, home to one of the largest colonies of gannets in the world. #2014ATWS #irelandwaw #skelligs #starwars LETTERS FROM LOVE CAFE amazon/Letters-Love-Cafe-Living-Volume/dp/1500512672/ref=tmm_pap_title_0
