 Arrived in Dublin and visited the seaside "Tidy Town" of Malahide. |
 The Malahide Castle. |
 Stopped in Limerick enroute to Dingle to visit King John's Castle. It was a gray and rainy day. |
 King John's Castle from across the River Shannon. No color to be had anywhere. |
 This is Dingle, Ireland. Beautiful town of pubs, restaurants, and shops. |
 Just outside the hotel. Bright sun behind me and dark clouds ahead. |
 The Dingle harbor. |
 Typical Irish scenery from across the harbor. |
 Looking from the Dingle harbor toward the Dingle Bay. |
 Mostly too cloudy and rainy to catch a sunrise. This was the last morning in Dingle. |
 St. James' Church, Dingle. Built by the Spanish and starting point for pilgrimages to Spain. |
 The sun sneaks through the clouds across Dingle Bay. |
 The Dingle Benners Hotel--plain outside, beautiful inside, and right in the middle of the action. |
 Inside the Dingle Benners Hotel. |
 Reception area in the Dingle Benners. |
 The Dingle Benners bar where we met several pints.... |
 Yep--they had Guinness and Dingle Gin. No surprises there! |
 The Dingle Pub just across the street from the hotel. Great Irish stew and fish and chips! Oh, and did I mention Guinness? |
 Inside the Dingle Pub. |
 St. Mary's Catholic Church, Dingle. |
 Stained glass windows in St. Mary's by the famous artist Harry Clarke. |
 Marian grotto outside St. Mary's Church. |
 I took a picture of Dewey taking a picture of Evelyn taking a picture of me. |
 Dewey took a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of Evelyn taking a picture of me. |
 The two beautiful chicks who went to Ireland with us! On a boat in the Dingle harbor looking for "Fungie." |
 We found Fungie, the local dolphin. One wonders what the people on the boat were looking for...? |
 Hussy's Folly (tower) seen from the boat. |
 The remnants of the ancient Dingle lighthouse. |
 The new Dingle lighthouse. |
 The Gallarus Oratory (in English) - a 1000 year old Christian church overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. |
 "The Three Sisters" that can be seen from much of the west end of the peninsula, including from the Oratory. |
 Glanteenasig Forest Park - The Enchanted Forest. |
 The Bleach House B&B in Blennerville where Katy and I stayed in 1986. |
 Dingle Crystal - owned by a former Waterford glass cutter. Here, one of his three sons shows a "beehive" design glass. |
 A Herring Gull keeps his eye on the tourists. |
 Dewey and Evelyn on Slea Head Drive with the Blasket Islands in the background. |
 Tom and Katy at the Slea Head drive overlook. |
 A shepherd and his two dogs gave us a grand herding demonstration in the pouring rain. |
 "I see 'em boss.... Let me at 'em. LET ME AT 'EM!!!" |
 The dogs loved every minute, even in the rain. The sheep, not so much. |
 Headed back to Dublin and home, we visited the 12th century Angle-Norman Castle Dunamase. |
 A closer view of the ruins. The great hall is at the top of a tall hill with vistas in every direction.. |
 Looking through the outer gate toward one of the inner gates. |
 Holy Trinity, Church of Ireland, seen from inside the ruins. |
 Too many beautiful vistas from the hilltop to include in this album. |
 Evelyn and Dewey clown around in the James Long Pub. |
 Dewey catches me on the street while the girls shop. |
 Evelyn brings home an Irish flute she found in a little music shop near the harbor. |
