In less than 24 hours we will be flying home. Today is the perfect last day with temperatures in the upper 60s and smiling people no matter which way you look. Lovely.
Yesterday we spent most of the day going around the famed Ring of Kerry. We are calling it the Ring of Fog. We had to get out of the car to read a sign that declared we were looking at the Best View in Ireland. The fog or sea mist as they like to call it here was dense early on in the day.. The terrain was unusual. Lakes and barren hills of brown and black, slate rocks and winding roads. The town of Sneem was lovely. Kenmare was a tidy town and very pretty. We had a very enjoyable lunch in that town as recommended by our landlord. Old ruins were also abudant. Molls Gap to Killarney was exceptionally nice.
We couldn't resist going back to the Courthouse for another music fest. It did not disappoint. The world's champion in small box button accordian was featured. He was just amazing. Before the music ended, the serving of drink was closed but everyone about 50 people wanted more music. Tommy O'Sullivan played guitar and sang, 3 fiddle players and the main man, Damien Milan. Also a woman from the audience got up to sing a very meloncoly tune. The bar was at a hush. Our main friends for the evening were two beautiful girls from Israel and a couple from St. Paul. We also meet Katherine and Mike from the Craic house. All in all a most enjoyable evening of toe tapping. So glad we got a nap in. We haven't been home this late in years.
We are mostly packed and will just finish up our business in town today. Return the library books, say farewell to Ann, John, Michael and Tony. and visit the convent again to see the stained glass windows.
And an enjoyable time was had by all. Farewell from Dingle.
