Wednesday
An odd day. Clouds and frequent showers were forecast. But the sun ruled the day. We went into town – cheese store closed (oh, well), bought a baguette and some brownies at the Bacus Bakery, bought some needed batteries, Elaine scheduled a follow-up haircut, and we returned home.

So, today (in America at least), it is National Stars Wars Day. Since the last Star Wars movie was partially filmed in Ballyferriter, we thought there might some an event or two. So we drove out (11 kms). Nothing happening! Still, we had a quiet lunch in a small pub in Ballyferriter that we had never visited. Views from the Pub and from the lovely little church in Ballyferriter (we lit candles again):
Then we drove on to two favorite sites that we hadn’t stopped at on this trip: A pier near the very end of Slea Head Drive was our first stop. Great pictures of the Three Sisters from the bluff overlooking the pier.
Next stop – Brandon Creek. It was from here that St. Brendan took off on his voyages across the seas. It’s one of my favorite spots
Then it was Dinner was at home – leftover chicken cacciatore. Cocktails were enjoyed out on the patio in bright sunshine.
At 8:30 PM in Scottsdale we would be thinking about bedtime, After dinner at 8:30 PM in Dingle it was off to the Dingle Pub for libations, Dreams of Freedom music, and David Geaney dance. More on that tomorrow..
All in all, a very pleasant day.
Love the pix, counting down the time till we spend 2 October days in Dingle. Why do the sheep have painted heads, ownership marks?
Right on, ownership marks (by color & placement).
As always, such beautiful scenery pictures. Joe, please stop going so close to the edge of those bluffs. I can see why you love Brandon Creek so much.
What a lovely and quaint old church. Mom and Lena are smiling down again. Great views from there and the pub. Here, Kitty Kitty (reminds me a bit of Taco).
Elaine yells at me every time I get close to the edge.
As she should!!
The stained glass windows are beautiful as the sun shines through them. Love those church pics. The scenery was beautiful Joe. I can certainly understand Elaine and Sue being nervous about the edges Joe, be careful.
