After breakfast at the cottages we headed out for Dingle. We stopped several times in small villages to walk about. Once in Dingle we checked into our guest house. We then traveled the Dingle Coast and explored Gaeltacht, the fishing fleet and Slea Head. The views of the ocean were amazing. We learned about the famine where over 1.5 million people died unnecessarily due to starvation. We saw villages which were abandoned by Irish immigration during that same time. This gave us an opportunity to reflect upon how the Irish immigration changed the fabric of the American culture. We returned from our travels to have a delicious meal. Hot item on the meau tonight was fresh caught salmon. Going out to listen to live music ends our night! Tomorrow on to Killarney!
