Monday
Monday was the May bank holiday. That and the Féile Na Bealtaine festival meant Dingle was teaming with visitors. We took the day to drive to the Tesco Superstore in Tralee to get some things that Supervalu doesn’t stock. The Tesco Supermarket is beautiful. We also stopped in a few other stores in the Tralee Manor West shopping center. We took a different slightly longer route from Dingle and passed through Castlemaine, the home of Jack Duggan, the Wild Colonial Boy. The town has erected a new statue commemorating Jack right at the busy crossroads in town. We had planned on eating at Quinlan’s Seafood Restaurant in Tralee, but it is closed on Monday. The rest of Tralee was also pretty closed up for the bank holiday. Many stores open late on bank holidays. We were lucky the Tesco was open normal hours.
We had lunch and dinner at home. Soup and bread for lunch; BBQ lamb sausages (from Kennedy’s, of course) with potatoes au gratin and mixed veg for dinner. With cocktails we had a delicious cheese platter with cheeses from Dingle’s Little Cheese Shop, a treasure.
Tuesday Morning
It’s supposed to cloudy, chance of showers today and tomorrow and the next day. But when we got up at 7:00 AM, the sun was shining. We took separate walks, both of us taking pictures – me with my G7X camera and Elaine with her European cell phone (Alcatel). The galleries below are a hodgepodge of those photos.
Elaine’s
Joe’s
It’s 10:00 AM Tuesday morning right now. Back tomorrow morning or maybe not until Thursday.
Cheers!
The water pictures and Elaine’s rock wall picture are my favorites from today’s collection. Sometimes, going to the grocery store and eating at home is just the best. A cheese plate and a drink could be my supper. Thank you for sharing your days.
I agree with Jan, calming water pics very peaceful and the painted, wall pics makes for an interesting walk. Must say there are very artistic people in Dingle. Nothing wrong with an easy, relaxing day! Must ask, Joe, what is the pic of the green structure? Looks like a green, dragons tail. Stay well….Cindy
No identifying info on the sculpture (which is pictured in full on a previous day’s post here). So, it can be whatever you imagine it to be.
I agree with Jan. The water pics are very calming and the wall paintings are unique. Dingle has very talented artists. Joe, what is the pic of the green tail, a dragon? Stay well you two.
Thanks for the reply Joe. Remember the pic now. Tell Elaine Greg and Mona are not going to England. Trip was cancelled as Melanie hurt her arm during a practice. She will be fine, nothing broke, just needs to heal. Fishing trip still on this summer.
Thanks for the slap, Joe. I won’t forget again.
It doesn’t look like a boring day to me, just a nice peaceful one. You both took great pics on your walks. I could sit at a fishing harbor or marina and watch boats come and go all day. Maybe with a cheese platter and wine. Maybe have a lobster roll and a beer! Speaking of which, we hope to open up Rye before too long.
Poor Marie Antoinette— she should have taken James Rice up on his offer!
Would have saved her head!
Elaine wins this day. You go girl!
