Castletownshend day 2

Today we scheduled a rest day, starting with a leisurely breakfast in this gorgeous old castle.








                                       


 

We took a quick look around the village church, then onto Toe Head Bay.

View from the Church which is perched on the hill

We found this ruin on a hill overlooking Toe Head Bay

     

 

We took a walk around and ran into a couple who told us they had a vacation home next door to MaryAnn's pub. They were out hiking, and we planned to do the same.  She was concerned about me getting cold and offered to give me her jacket....really??  Those Irish!

On our way to Skibbereen we stopped at a grocery store to pick up some Irish toothpaste. Yep!  A requirement in every country :-)  We enjoyed seeing an Irish grocery store similar to Whole Foods.

                   

 


What, free samples of gin?? Sure!! Who does that!!

Then, back home!

                                    

   


                                     

   

                  

   

Back to MaryAnn's Pub for a delicious Irish dinner!

                                      

  

Monte was asked if he wanted to race a sailboat during the Maritime Week.  He declined, but I know he was tempted!

A great day!
