Wednesday
Well, Wednesday was rainy. Of course. We ventured out for lunch only. We had the usual great fish and chips at the Fish Box. The Fish Box usually stays open throughout the year, but it too is closing next week for two to three months as they double the size of the seating area and greatly expand the kitchen.
Other than that, we stayed home. We had a roaring fire in the fire box and cocktails by the fire. Nothing else to report.
Thursday
We awoke this morning to sunshine. Could it last? There hasn’t been a day yet when it would have been worthwhile to venture west onto Slea Head Drive for the views. Oh well, we’ll give it a shot. The sun lasted! Here are the Slea Head Drive views on the most beautiful drive in the world. (You’ve seen them all before, but they always look great!)
First, some pictures of Water’s Edge House. There are four almost identical condos, two on the top and two on the bottom. We previously stayed in the one top right as you face the building. This time we are below that in Unit #2. The sea views are taken from in front of the building looking left and right.
First stop on our ride was at Ventry Beach with it’s holiday trailers. That’s Elaine walking down the beach in the first photo.
Along the drive
At Louis Mulcahy Pottery. Elaine’s sister Ann spent about $1 million here back when she visited.
At Clogher Strand, my favorite beach. The cows are looking at me strangely. Don’t they remember me?
Finally a couple of pictures as we took the back road over the hill back to Dingle.
A very nice day! Glad we got a good weather day in. After that, I had one at Curran’s and we had dinner at home in front of another fire.
Does Mulcahy. have a plaque on the wall for favorite customer ever!!!
Love the views and we need to go back for more pottery – still love it!! Can just picture great fires great drinks and incredible views!
Such a fabulous place and what fun knowing so many townspeople!!
Safe travels hope to see you in January while we are in Scottsdale!!
Are the owners of Solas Greek? I have a good friend named Jim Solas who is very Greek.
Nope. Irish.
No one is more deserving of such a beautiful sunshine soaked day drive than the two of you. Stunning.
Ann must have bought so much at Mulcahy’s, she dropped a few pieces on their lawn,
I’m sure the cows remember you, Joe. They were just wondering where you’ve been. The same goes for Elaine’s seagull friend.
Lovely pictures. I still can’t place what street you’re on, are you looking towards the Dingle Skelling house where we stayed? Or at the other end of the city?
You two haven’t missed any good weather here, lots of cold, some clouds, and next week temps overnight in the 30s!! I didn’t golf today and have already cancelled next tuesday!
How are you headed home, through LAX again? Hope some bars stay open for you!!
If you left the Skellig, came into town and walked along the harbor and kept going, you would come to Waters Edge House.
What a lovely day! I’m sure you were thrilled. Don’t feel too bad about the weather. Ours hasn’t been all that much better!!!
Happy you got a day that got you out. You certainly made the most of it. No surprise at Ann’s pottery shopping! Great comment Sue. I am still laughing! Joe, Todd says to say hi to you both. He is here for a few days on his way to join others to ski CO for the next few months. Always fun having him visit. Be safe..Cindy
