Erin Go Bragh!

I have avoided wading through our vacation pictures long enough. I am going to try and post pictures that everyone can find interesting or that I look good in, let's be honest.
We began what we have fondly named the "You're Welcome Europe" tour (more explanation on the name later) in Dingle, Ireland. Dingle is the western most point of Europe and is fairly rural and very authentic. As witnessed by what we saw out of window from our B&B.


We rented a car because it's the best way to get around. TINY streets. Not wide.


Odd feeling driving on the wrong side of the road. It definitely takes conscious thought to stay there. Luckily, the rental car was nice enough to post this sign in the driver's side window. Obviously this must be an issue for others also.

I would definitely move to Dingle. It had an adorable harbor and was near the beach. It also has an albino dolphin named Fungii. Just a fun fact.

We drove the Slea Head Loop which has some amazing views. This picture was taken at 11:00 pm at night. The sun finally set about 20 minutes later. That was crazy to me.


Token animal picture: Just in case you were wondering how you would tell your sheep from your neighbors the answer is paint. You color code your livestock. Fabulous idea. We should do that with children.


If I could have remained on this cliff the rest of my life, I would have been happy. It was absolutely gorgeous. Ireland has the best grass I have ever! I could have made a small bed of grass and dried twigs and been very satisfied.



After Dingle we headed to....

Ireland is so beautiful. What a great opportunity. And paint fixes everything, even livestock.
