The Travelers Are Home!

Leaving On Aer Lingus Flt 125

Hi to everyone. We got home without incident yesterday about 6:30 pm. Anne picked us up and we went to their house to share some goodies from Ireland with the boys. I'm sure we have never been away from our grandsons for this long. Anne had a nice dinner ready for us.

Got to bed about 9:00 pm and then woke up about 3:00 am (jet lag, time shift). We laid in bed until a more reasonable time of 5:30. Our cat was all over us during the night, not at all happy that we had left her for 11 days.

Of course we are now back in reality! We have 12" of snow on the ground and I am heading out for work in just a bit. Ann leaves for Oregon tomorrow around noon. (Ann's plane was canceled due to weather, so she didn't get away until the next morning.)

However, we are already thinking about how we can go back to the Dingle area and perhaps set up a seasonal business. More information to come.

I will be working very hard over the next few days to set-up the photos from the trip. I only came back with 663 shots that I kept. I promise not to bore you with all of them!

We will be leaving soon to drive over to the Shannon area so that we can leave in the morning about 11:00 am. Yesterday was another wonderful day, made more so by the first full day of no rain and mostly sunny weather. We went to church at St. James Church which is the local Church Of Ireland church in Dingle. A small group, only the vicker and 6 others besides ourselves. It is a great little church, very simple but just what you would expect in Dingle. This church hosts music concerts 3 times a week during the summer. With the Sun out we took a drive out by Eagle Mt and down to Don Quon at the end of the peninsula. And then we found two archaeological sites just down the road from our cottage that were absolutely wonderful. While we were there our neighbors were out herding a flock of their sheep with their sheep dog, this was just a delight to...

Day Three

" Home Sweet Home" Welcome Let The Light Shine In Living Room From The Loft Living Room Double Bed Room (Ron & Dona's Room) First Bed Room (Ann's Room) Kitchen And Sitting Room Dinner Our Neighbor, Kilmelkedar Church Today dawned very foggy and rainy. Really took our time lounging around during the morning. Left the house around 11:00 am and went into Dingle. Ron managed to drive the whole way without scrapping against the bushes along the very narrow road! Today is just for shopping and seeing some of the shops and craft stores around Dingle. Spent some time at Dingle Crystal and have made an appointment for tomorrow morning to see a demonstration of Sean working. After that we plan to take the Dingle loop drive around the peninsula. I would like to tell you a little bit about our house. The main part of the house has four rooms that are in a straight line. First is a small bedroom which opens out to the main living room. This living room has a peat burning sto...
