I promised a picture of le Grand Bleu. Here it is parked in front of 18 Ard Na Mara. There’s also a shot of the street.

We awoke to a cool (cold?) but mostly dry morning. There was even a rainbow.

We decided to do a walk. It rained on us a bit, but we soldiered on and it stopped. Scenes from the walk:

We stopped at St Mary’s to light some candles. See our reflection in the door?

Then we continued our walk by the harbor and back home. See the sun in the picture of the harbor. It was taken at noon and that’s as high as the sun gets at this latitude.

After a lunch at home, we ventured out again for a pint or two at Curran’s Pub. Scenes from the pub:

After the pub we got home to see sort of a sunset (at 4:30 pm). Any sunset is a rare sight in Dingle.

Dinner was at Solas, a tapas restaurant and wine bar that we first tried on our last visit and liked it. It was elevated into a favorite. A lot of our favorite restaurants in Dingle (Ashes, Out of the Blue, and Fenton’s) are closed in the winter. Dinner at Solas was grand, and we had a great chat with the owners. Amongst other selections, we had grilled sourdough with confit tomatoes, chorizo and menchego croquettes, scallops ceviche, fig tempura with goats cheese, and pork belly. The wine was a St Emilion from France.

After dinner, a quick drink at nearby Flaherty’s Pub. No music, but busy with an office party.
