Not only were there gorgeous beaches and farmland around nearly every bend but also some ancient history as well.
I walked on the beach...
Saw bee hive huts.....
Stopped for apple pie at a lovely cottage along the road...
Hiked down to another beach....
Visited the Blasket Island Center and learned lots of cool stuff...no pics for this place but it was really cool. And they have yummy scones!
Saw more awesome views...pics later...
Stopped at the Gallardo Oratory...a stone building about 1300 years old. Its dry rubble masonry, so no morter just a bunch of stones stacked up on top of each other. Its about 8 m long, 5 m wide and 5 m high. After the stones were stacked they were trimmed so the interior and exterior are pretty smooth - no rocks poking out here and there. Its pretty amazing to see. I will work on uploading the pictures later... They are being really stubborn!
More awesomeness...and then I went for fish and chips, its own kind of awesome!!
Monday drove the Ring of Kerry....more on that later...
