Thursday
Cloudy morning, but I guaranteed Elaine a sunshiny afternoon. Lo and behold, I was right. We walked into town around noon and enjoyed Calamari and Chips for lunch from Sheehy’s food truck. Yummy. I had a beer at the Dingle Pub while Elaine looked for a sweater to buy – no luck. It was a very low key day. We enjoyed the sunshine at home. Dinner was home cooked Shepard’s Pie and Peas with a nice Pinot Noir. Our house wine here in Dingle is New Zealand Oyster Bay Pinot Noir. Of course, I first enjoy a gimlet made with double distilled Dingle Vodka – very smooth. No Rose’s lime juice to be found around here, so I substitute Robinson’s Crushed Lime and Mint Cordial. It works!
I’ve displayed below a few pics from our walkabout today. Tomorrow is Farmer’s Market Day in Dingle. We’ll be there! And Saturday is the Ride Dingle bike race (info here), so the town will be hopping. Dingle was busy this week because of Easter, the Monday bank holiday, and spring break week for the Irish schools. Next week should be quieter.
Slán go fóill.

A sunny day surely lifts one’s spirits. We had one today too. Glad you were able to have a walkabout. I am looking forward to your pictures of the farmer’s market. Hi to Elaine!
Great pictures of your walkabout. Such quaint storefronts and beautiful countryside. I think you could spend your entire vacation trying to look at all the stuff hanging behind the bar at the Dingle Pub! Enjoy the farmer’s market.
Nice to see you again too, Cindy. Hi to Bill. And I loved the “young whippersnappers” comment from one of the cousins.
Nice to get back to normalcy. Great seeing those shots of the storefronts. Good to know that Dingle remains peaceful and inviting. Love the colors in photos! Enjoy your trip.
(What I like even better than Rose’s Lime Juice, is pure lime juice and quick dissolving sugar. No need to boil. No fructose.).
Keep clicking those pics!
The phone camera looks just fine. Pictures of the town are amazing. And with sunshine even nicer. Farmers market should be interesting, what’s ‘in season’ there?
Nothing like “light” to make pics pop. They look fine!
The colorful pics of Dingle’s town are always enjoyable. I know you both will enjoy the Farmers Market. Get pics Joe, would love to see what they have there. Elaine keep looking for your sweater. You will find a great one there.
I agree Sue, “young whippersnapper” is a great comment. Our cousins are the best! You and Jeff would enjoy them, I know Joe does.
