With winds gusting over 40mph and rain sideways we took a rain 😛 check on golf. Disappointing but we are all about Plan B or C or…
We loaded up our wind clothes and Kermit for a drive to the Ring of Kerry. If all works out we’ll leave the dark clouds full of rain behind.
First stop Killorglin. We’re noticing many of the villages have lost businesses. Many closed or are for sale. Not sure if it’s the after effects from Covid shutdowns and business revenue lost that couldn’t be recovered or that we (all WE) don’t realize the importance of shopping local and go for the convenience of online shopping. Makes us sad. A good reminder to shop local and online only as a last resort. We did enjoy the walk around town…
Finders keepers, losers weepers
And perfect business for a man named John Loo (hysterical)
Lots of laughs today
Bright cars of the Garda (police)
I loved colors of 🇮🇪 on this ball, but no room. When we returned to our home away from home, I received an email inviting me back to college to play in the alumni 🏀 game during homecoming in October. Darn we won’t be home and my since my knees have aged 45 years, it’s all good, but I still have a wicked jump shot.
We golfers would stay clear of this pub and bunkers on the course too
Enough fun, keep driving the Ring…
Onward ~ wait one more stop
WAIT ONE MORE IMPORTANT STOP
We were thrilled to hear they now ship to the 🇺🇸. The sad part of our conversation was they can’t get what the heck the USA is going to charge on tariffs (aka taxes on the consumer US). It’s a moving target with no sense or detail or resolve for them to be able to price their products. So they are holding up shipments, which is holding up sales and most importantly their profits. She said it’s absolutely insane and making everything more expensive. FAFO 🇺🇸 😡😡. We know 😡😡 sorry
On to the Kerry Cliffs
Hold on to everything, the gusts were topping 43mph and part of the paths were closed so people didn’t blow away into the Atlantic
A few llamas along the trail too
Then lots of interest from this guy
What an amazing trip to the Kerry Cliffs. No glitz, not crowded just made a small donation to see gorgeous cliffs that the property owner is kind enough to share with the world.
Back to Ballybunion…
🎶 There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name. He was born and raised in Ireland in a place called Castle Maine. He was his father’s only son, his mother’s pride and joy and dearly did his parents love the wild colonial boy…there’s more to the song but Jeff was spared
Who lived in Castlemaine
Back in our still very windy BallyB home away from home. Ready for dinner and some chillaxing!!!
