I woke up feeling sick today. I think it was a combination of castle wine and Bulmer's cider at the hotel pub. Oh well, it appears to be wearing off at least, and all we're doing right now is driving so I have time to just sit still and let it run it's course. Hoping to make a speedy recovery before we have to get off in Adare.
We spent some time in Adare and it is a quaint little city with beauty abounding in every direction. Thatched roofed houses and beautiful flowers and greenery make this city a true Irish town. I bought some items for the folks back home, complete with Irish Whisky and Mead. I finally got myself a ring and I'm so thrilled about it! And my dad got some O'Donnell coasters that outline our heritage. My great grandmother O'Donnell was a family of Lords of Donegal! Royalty we come from!
We are having lunch in Dingle at Harrington's Fish Restaurant. This is a beautiful port city. We've got about 2.5 hours here today, so we can finally finish our shopping and not have to rush around!
Walking around Dingle, we ran into a little baby boy who reached out for me and then started waving and smiling. He was so adorable. I brought him back with me, so I have a son now, fyi.
Wow! The Dingle Penisula, also known as Slea Head, was spectacular! Just stretches of mountains, cliffs, oceans, farmland, sheep, and green as far as the eyes can see! We were driving this huge bus along the cliffs that could barely fit us on it when we had to start reversing so we could let a car go by...what a rush that was! Death at every turn!
We finished the night with another 4 course meal and then a walk downtown and into some shops. I broke a coffee cup, so I was charged half price for it. Not too bad! Then we had a drink in the pub and went to bed. Another successful day!
