More Dingle...

I sat in poop.  Gross.

In some places the streams run right into the road.  I love it here.
The roads are terrifying.  They are so narrow and this one literally had a drop on the other side of it.

But the view is totally worth driving on those roads.

We Nicknamed Him "Humpy"

Minard Castle

We met up with the Galvins in Dingle and Pam showed us around this castle that had been attacked hundreds of years ago.  Apparently everyone inside was killed.  There was a "danger" sign at the front of it but we passed on through.  The structure of the building was still there, but you could see where the walls had been hit by canons.  We walked all through the inside, it was amazing.  It made you want to know who lived there, how they lived, if they enjoyed the view the way we do, etc.

DINGLE!

This is a fairy well.  People used to think fairies live here, I suppose some still believe that.

Me crawling out of the beehive hut.  Some of these things are 4,000 years old.
The hut.  A monk used to live in this one.
The westernmost part of Ireland.  It wasn't the best day weather wise but it was still beautiful.

Cliffs of Moher

So you can meet anything and everything on the roads here.  Tractors, buses, cows, sheep, etc.
This sign made me laugh.
The red van kind of ruined this picture.
Cliffs of Moher.  They were absolutely beautiful.

A Night at O'Flaherty's

So this was fun.  Mazz, a music store owner in town, told us to go to her brother's bar for some music.  There were about ten people sitting around with 15 instruments between them.  They would switch between guitar, washer, accordian, or drum.  They sang too, which was fantastic.  One would start and then the rest would join in on the chorus.  There were only a few people there at first, then more came in.  There were even a few other tourists there.  The atmosphere was so casual and relaxed, we could have stayed there all night listening to them play.

On to the West!

Oh, this was fun.  Me and Crystal found a castle but it was closed for the day.  So we hopped the fence.  It was straight out of Lord of the Rings.  So amazing.
