Woke up early to go for a run, which isn’t unusual for me back home, but I didn’t know how I would do here in Dingle. It was amazing. I got out of the house just as the sun had crested over the mountains, and it lit everything in a golden hue, making the fields […]
Ireland 2018, Day 2: A Day in Dingle Town
The rain cleared out overnight, and I awoke to a beautiful partly cloudy day. I slept in, mostly because my body couldn’t figure out that we needed to awake.

I had put together an itinerary on Sygic Travel’s site, but […]
