Ireland: The Ring of Dingle

It was our privilege in September to take a 4 day weekend to the Dingle Peninsula of Ireland. It is the most Western portion of land in all of Europe. It has a small population and is very rural. The cliffs on the sea are breathtaking. The weather was fabulous. We were fortunate!


Bob's first time to drive on the left. It was easier being a rural area.


Domestic animals dotted the landscape. The sheepdogs did their job well.




We loved it here. Below you see both father and son chasing sheep. They did not want to be petted.


Bob and I climbed to this high peak to view the Blasket Islands.



Dingle has been our door to Ireland. It is beautiful and rustic. Gaelic is spoken here. We felt just a little bit Irish.
