We continued driving on the Wild Atlantic Way right into Dingle. It is a little fishing village that is still operating as a port. We were a bit early so we walked about town a while. Then when it was getting closer to the check in time we tried to find the AirBnB. It took us a while and some back and forth with the host but we finally got in. It was vary old building and the surroundings were not ideal. but the inside was completely redone with everything brand new. We headed out for dinner and then to a pub to listen to some Irish music. A bride and groom came in and we talked with them for an hour or more. They were from Indiana and were great fun. As the first band was finishing up and the second band was setting up it got really crowded and hot. In all the excitement we got up and left without paying! After I was in bed I asked Leslie if we had paid and we had not. So she sent an email to the pub telling them we would be by the next day to pay our tab. The responded at 1:30 AM.
Cows and sheep along the way
The fields parceled out
The one and only straight stretch of road
Inns, BnB's and Pubs were the most numerous
In Dingle they really take care of their doors
Slabs of rock for sails
Tiny old folks
An old well by our place
The second building in is our AirBnB
Across from our place it is a dump, and actual dump
OOTB is the acronym they use
Brightly painted buildings on the streets
Contrasting colors on the trim
Why he did not take a seat was never determined
The harbor is busy
Celtic or Viking?
Some very nice professional fishing ships
The town from the harbor
The federal government decided , on its own, to drop the name Dingle and use the Gallic name instead. Needless to say, Daingin, did not stick
Looking out to the inlet
We popped into a shop that makes clothes from discarded raw materials. Lots of old towels from the hospitality industry are dyed and make into beach wear
Crab pots or lobster pots?
We are staying here
Our AirBnB
pretty
Ugly, but with pretty graffiti in the back
All the buildings around our place are traditional
Funny t-shirt
Dolphins!
So many brightly painted doors
With contrasting trim
The sign says Beginish Apartments
Pink even
Random bands and individuals with stars on the sidewalk
Dinner Time
Fish in a box
Fish on the walls
Just a bit of beer gets consumed
It is getting late on our first day in Dingle
Rock and brick
What is this?
The Dingle Pub had music playing early!
A sweet fiddle plater
Rough voiced singer
In came a bride and groom to applause. We scooted over and offered them a place to sit.
She had some very sparkly shoes
Shoe envy!
