Yesterday in the drizzle or damp weather we drove about 30 miles to Inch Beach. It is the biggest and best beach in the West of Ireland. In the States if one was approaching a major tourist area, one would find signs, food establishments and motels. Here, we turned a corner and went down a hill of a grade of 10 degrees and there was the beach on our right. It is approximately 10 K long and the tide was out and the beach was about 400 meters wide. The overcast day made it look monochromatic from the mountains to the water, Dramatic. People in Dingle have told us they teach their children to drive on the beach. I do not understand that because the roads here are about 10 feet wide so learning to drive on that beach seems like a waste of time.'
Today was warm and sunny and we went around the Slea Head drive. Monte and Pat loved it as much as we did. Not one bus the entire day which surprised us. At one turn, overlooking the 3 sisters we stopped and an Irish couple who were walking talked with us. The husband is a tour guide and he gave some off-the beaten path places to visit on the road. No words do this drive justice. When I post photos then you will see, especially today's trip.
Cooking freshly caught Dingle fish for dinner., Bye for now.
