Wednesday, July 3, 2019 The Dingle Peninsula

Today we had Wilm drive us around the Dingle Peninsula in his BMW 7 Series touring series sedan.

Wilm was a teacher for 40 years and has been a tour guide for the last 4 years. He was a great tour guide and we got a great guided tour of the Dingle Peninsula.

This is Inch Beach, a three mile long strand of beautiful white sand beach.

Now we are in the hills above Inch Beach.

This is an Ogham stone.

This is the translation key for the hash marks on the Ogham stone. These stone were used in ancient Ireland to make property boundaries and document transfers of land ownership. Wilm took us into a private estate that had the most extensive collection of these Ogham stones in Ireland.

A beautiful view of Dingle Bay.

This dry stone structure was a shelter for pilgrims who were on pilgrimage around the Dingle Peninsula.

This is an ancient Catholic Church that the Irish monks built as early as the Sixth century.

This is a picture of the ruins of the settlement associated with the church I described above.

This is for all you Rotarians. They have a Rotary Club in Dingle.

Sara, Dana and Mark enjoying a glorious day touring the Dingle Peninsula.

We had an Irish dinner at Brixin in downtown Killarney. We all had boxy.

This is my boxty. It is a potato pancake with stroganoff filling. You can get different fillings but this was their special of the day so I thought I would give a go. It was very good.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday.

Goodnight from Killarney, Ireland.
