THIS BUG SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN FIXED. FINGERS CROSSED!
Cloudy with occasional rain but mostly dry Monday. We slept late – 7:45. Sunrise is at 8:30. Then we bopped into town, mostly for shopping. Back to SuperValu where we picked up the non-essentials like food. We already had the essentials like alcohol. We also visited the Little Cheese Shop for some appetizer cheeses – a blue, a brie, and another hard cheese. Then we visited the Dingle Library for some reading materials. We have Dingle library cards. I like to read up on Irish history when I am in Dingle.
Then it was home for lunch. Elaine decided to stay home this afternoon while I made my first visit to Curran’s, one of my go-to pubs, the other, of course, being the Dingle Pub. Chatted with Johnny, the longtime bartender and the four or five locals who happened by. After two pints of Guinness, I headed home.
Dinner was at home. Elaine concocted a chorizo and penne main with tomato sauce served with fresh salad and garlic bread. It was all quite delicious accompanied by Oyster Bay (New Zealand) Pinot Noir.
Just a few pictures today (click to enlarge)
So it was a quiet day – there will be many of them. Tomorrow will be our first dinner out and we have a local concert booked for Thursday night at St. Mary’s church.
Later! (I forgot to get a daylight shot of le Grand Bleu. Today maybe.)
First of all, I wouldn’t call getting up at 7:45 am as sleeping in! Especially on vacation. I’m glad you chose to get some food to go with the alcohol!
Elaine, that dinner looks delicious. Enjoy.
7:45 is late for us!
