5-30-14 Dingle Peninsula drive

Today, under perfect conditions, we drove the Dingle penninsula.  I think it is one of the most scenic parts of Ireland because the road follows the rugged coastline so we saw the blue ocean on the left side while emerald green hills cascaded down the hillsides on the right side. The hills are irregularly divided by stone fences and are dotted with white sheep.
The few small homes along the road are almost all built with local stone, to go along with the stone fence.

Photos: the 1st 3 photos are scenes along our drive. The 4th photo is a church built 1200 years ago and is still in good condition, without the need for restoration.  The last photo was taken at Dingle Harbor where school kids were rowing Dingle fishing boats.
