Best weather day yet. No rain until at night, still relatively mild, and we even had a sun sighting or two. That’s rare for Dingle at Christmas time.
Elaine took her morning walk and we had just yogurt and granola for breakfast. Then we took Grom out for a spin around Slea Head Drive, Ireland’s prettiest drive. It’s magnificent when the sun shines brightly, but it’s beautiful any time. One advantage to seeing it now is that there are no tour buses on the road. Lunch was at John Benny’s Pub (no relation to Jack). Dinner was at home – leftover steak, Rogan Josh, and veg. And wine, of course. And some more of those delicious mini mince pies with whipped cream for dessert. After dinner we wandered downtown for a walkabout and some drinks (Guinness for me; Hot whiskeys for Elaine) Pictures will tell the story.

A Drive Around Slea Head
Lunch at John Benny’s
Cocktails at Sunset (4:30 PM)
Good to see that you must be feeling better Joe. What would Dingle be without all the pubs! Enjoy the Christmas tree on the pole in the pub. Unique idea!
What a beautiful ride around Slea Head. I love the pic of the Galloway cattle (black with white “belts”). We have a Galloway cattle ranch here as well.
Lunch looked great. Cocktails at sunset beautiful. You may have to stay longer to get pics of all the Dingle pubs! Do you have a pint in each?

Glad U R feeling better, Joe. Not fun to be away from home when under the weather. And the Dingle weather looks dreary this week. At least the colorful pub fronts perk it up. Elaine says the town is growing by leaps and bounds. We had our own dreary weather day today. Just got to Gorgeous Puerto. Nuevo beach in time for the heavens to open. It’s still raining now back at the ranch. TV time. Practicing our Spanish. So far we comprehend “Donald Trump”, ha ha. Nice sunny day yesterday at the CG pool with visit to and dinner in Old San Juan. Spent Boxing Day at El Moo and San Cristobal, both national parks and both open despite the government shut down. Pretty impressive. Love the muted colors of your photos from Shea Head Drive. Remember fondly you taking us there on a brighter sunnier day. We return to brighter sunnier AZ on 12/30. What about you? Looking forward to seeing you in 2019. Whoops – another tropical downpour outside. ! 😘
