Last night was our final night in Galway and we went out to a great local pub called Tonnery's.  Sean now has a new BFF! The picture below is Sean...and Sean!  Lovely people and so interested in how our trip is going.  Always telling a story, many of them singing or sharing a bit of Irish history to keep us entertained.

Today was a drive from Galway to Dingle Peninsula.  It was a 3-hour trip but beautiful scenery.  Sean has been so great about driving and he seems to have the hang of driving on the left side of the road with the car's steering wheel on the right!  I have mastered the skill of telling him how to drive...so nothing new for me really, lol!  We had a great unexpected adventure when we were following the GPS and she said "turn left and board the ferry"!  We drove the car onto the ferry and took a 20-minute ride across the bay!  We even saw a dolphin that you may be able to make out in the pic below.

Dingle is in the southwestern part of Ireland.  It is a seaside village that looks like a postcard.  The beautiful streets and shops are adorable!  We tested the seafood chowder and as expected, it is delicious.  We went to Dingle Crystal (one of my bucket list stops) and dropped a few euros there!  Very cool story of the crystal! We walked around and admired the town and then left for Tralee which is about 45 minutes from Dingle.

We are staying in a bed and breakfast in Tralee.  It is right out of Downton Abbey!  Very elegant and proper.  The picture below is the breakfast room.  It is out in the Irish countryside with pastures, glens, and as our host said, "40 shades of green". Stunning and peaceful!
