August 20 – Dingle Peninsula

We’ve passed the halfway point on our trip on Day 5. Today we were able to visit a batch of historic sites dating from the 6th-12th centuries (Reask Monastic Site, Kilmalkedar, Gallarus Oratory and ring forts) with a fantastic guide in Billy. From there, we headed up to Slea Head where Jason was nearly blown off the cliff and Clay (aka. Jim Cantore) gave us a report on the weather. We finished our tour of the Dingle Peninsula with a visit to the Blasket Islands Centre to learn a bit about the islands. We finished the day with dinner in Dingle town followed by a concert at Siopa Ceoil featuring the rambunctious Seamus Begley. Now, off for a pint.
