Weather improved on Monday. Some sun, lots of clouds. Rain through the night. Tuesday broke cloudy, but we saw lots of sun. The temperatures are still cool although it has warmed to the mid fifties with the sun.
OK. It’s well known that I am an Irish citizen. Above and beyond that, we now have Redi Rewards cards at Garvey’s SuperValue. And we have library cards at the Dingle Library. And I have received my first package delivery from Amazon. All we have to do now is move here.
Monday was quiet. A little shopping. Lunch at John Benny’s Pub (no relation to Jack). A nap in the afternoon. Unlike our previous apartments, this house has full cable and we get our favorite shows from the UK: Four in a Bed, the Chase, and Come Dine with Me. After cocktails, we had sandwiches and chips for dinner. Then it was off to the St Jame’s Church for a folk concert. Riona Maoagain sang; Matt Griffin played a brilliant guitar; and Eoin Duignan was fantastic on the Uilleann Pipes (Irish bagpipes) and Low Whistle.

When the sun came out early Tuesday morning, we decided on a walk about. We drove into Dingle town and parked. Then we walked along the coast of Dingle Harbor past the Dingle Skellig Hotel and through fields of cows to the Tower at the narrow entrance to Dingle Bay proper. Fungie, the dolphin, was out there somewhere, but we didn’t spot him.
Dinner Tuesday night was at the Chart House, our favorite Dingle restaurant. As I’ve said before, it has no connection to the US restaurant chain. It was delicious as always. I didn’t take my camera, so no food pictures.
