The Dingle Loop

This is the Galarus Oratory, a mandatory stop on the peninsula. The claim that it has never leaked is a lie. There are calcite stains on the ceiling. It looks like the walls are shifting a teeny bit.

Yesterday we went to Dingle to look about. It is a small town with a church, a whole bundh of pubs, restaurants, gift shops and hotels. Dan got a SIMM for charlie's phone. Nothing else insisted on going home with me. There are a number of nice restaurants. Dingle is known for seafood.

Today Dan and I drove around the west end of the peninsula. We stopped at the Oratory and a bunch of great vantage points. The sun cooperated! When we got to Dingle we found the the best seafood place (Out of the Blue) doesn't serve lunch. We had to take the place next door. Not too bad.

On the way back to Dunquin we stopped at a promotory fort and a ring fort/beehive huts. The ring fort has defensive possibilities. The promotory fort has no military potential whatsoever.
It may have been a monastery or something.

Dan's place has no internet so I'm imposing on the proprietor of the B&B I stayed at before I found Dan. I'm going to leave soon so I've got other things to take care of. More later.
