What a way to spend my 64th birthday, it was so surreal.
This landscape, almost like all the landscape in Ireland, looks like a great big green quilt. It is green everywhere!
More of the patchwork
Here's the group enjoying the sights along the way to the cliffs. The views are spectacular. We did a tour to the peninsular and it was worth every cent.
This our first stop along the cliffs of Dingle. These cliffs were about four hundred feet high. The road ran right along the edge of the cliff. It was quite the experience.
This was a very interesting stop. The beehive hut we saw was in the middle of a sheepfold.
We had to be very careful where we stepped!
These structures were used between 2000BC and 1200AD. They are very well constructed
Donna and myself inside the beehive. It was quite roomy and surprisingly dry.
A little perspective of how small this beehive really is.
This was a sign inside the restroom on the site of the Beehive

This house is One of the oldest houses in Ireland. It is very well built and no rain water enters it through the layers of the stones. They are layered on slight angles so as to cause the water to run off them. The method of laying the stones this way is called corbelling.
We stopped in the village here in Dingle for a bite to eat. The Marina Inn was a good place for a meal. We saw this artwork around the village.
I found it quite interesting to see a palm tree on the left, a penguin in the middle, with the Irish flag on the right. Seemed quite strange!!!
