The Band Played the Last Post and Chorus

Trip over. Time for the dreaded plane rides home. We are at Dublin Airport for the night, once again in the Ducati Suite. Sweet. Tomorrow morning at 8:45 we fly to Heathrow, then change terminals and planes for the 11 hour flight to PHX. We’ll be home by 8 PM, asleep by 8:10 PM.

The guy working on the wall at Murphy’s (in yesterdays photos) has been in exactly the same spot for 15 years. Progress is slow.

January 2nd was the best weather day so far. There was actually a live sun sighting. We have been blessed with mild temperatures and little rain. We went into town for lunch and tried a new place, Grey’s Lane Bistro. Very nice little place. Hugh lunch.

Stopped in various venues to say our goodbyes to friends. Saw Grainne for the last time. She has graciously agreed to store a box for us to be in our new house when we arrive back in April. Saves lugging all those adapters, converters, plugs, and wires home and then back again, especially since we won’t need them until we get back.

Some final pictures. Note the very small brick tower on the highest point in the last picture below. That’s Eask Tower. The view from up there is supposed to be fantastic. We’ve never gone up. It’s high on the list to do on our spring trip back here.

But there are many more on the Dingle Peninsula (including Quinns’s and Paddy O’Shea’s in Ventry, the South Pole Inn in Annuscual, Brick’s near Wine Strand, a couple in Ballyferriter, Krueger’s in Dunquin, and Tigh T P in Ballydavid. We have been to all of them.
