We left Killarney with a forecast of partly sunny skies and a drive of 7 hours with stops, to our new home in Belclare and the Galway area of Ireland. The drive was spectacular with stunning views of the countryside. So green it’s unbelievable.

We stoped by Inch Beach. Quite the surfing spot.
Then, the lovely town of Dingle on the sea.

A wonderful drive over the hill to Belclare our new home.
Our Airbnb is a lovely chateau from the 1700’s, remodeled and updated many times.

Son of a gun, they have an Irish bar. It’s the only spot in town.

Today, we took a hike up to the top of the hill in our neighborhood (Knockma Woods), great views.


Today, Galway where we ran into a huge rainstorm. It’s August in Ireland.

On to Cong, where John Wayne filmed the The quiet Man in 1951. The town still loves him.
