We have ended up in a very small village where most of the locals still speak Gaelic. It is as far as you can get on the Dingle Peninsula and is incredibly beautiful. The weather has turned to intermittent rain and wind with brief periods of sunshine, but we're not letting that slow us down. I have adjusted somewhat to the driving on the 'other' side but some of these roads are really only one lane and make me glad I decided to rent the smallest car we could find!
At our last stop, St. Finian's Bay between Ballinskelligs and Portmagee, our GPS went crazy and sent us in several circles with 10 or more left turns, but we eventually got to where we wanted to be. We have had the good fortune so far of staying in amazing places with great sea views and have met so many kind and friendly people already! Tonight we are on a corner and can hear the wind whipping by, but are cozy and warm inside . . . and the pub is just downstairs!

Ruins of a Castle Along the Road. They really didn't want anyone to
visit this. There were signs saying no admittance and dangerous wild animals. Really!
