Dublin to Dingle and back

We're just back from spending 2 1/2 days down Kerry as it is said here. We flew to the Kerry airport on a very small plane, rented a car and drove out to Dingle. Got to hear some wonderful music, visit and stay with 2 generous friends, Frank one night and Fran the second night, and did some driving out to Slea Head. We tried to show a friend the Blasket Islands but it was so foggy and rainy, they were just bumps on the horizon. We found some family members and visited the homestead and the cemetery and just had an all around good good time.
Now back in Dublin for some city sightseeing and more Temple Bar trad fest tonight. All in all, life is grand!

Foggy sounds right, since it's been anywhere from 6-22 degrees here. I hope the small plane was agreeable! And, the music link was pretty neat.

A chara,
It sounds lovely, and looks the same! I'm so tempted to pack up and go as well, but then I've only just returned : )
You've been missing some snow and cold, but at least the sun's been shining most of the time. Glad to hear that you're having such a good time.

Do we have living relatives where you went? I didn't know you found anyone!
