A cat outside my window has awoken me early here in the westernmost part of Europe—the Dingle peninsula.
I’ve officially turned sixty and it’s OK!
I had two shots of Bailey’s before ascending the iconic Cliffs of Moher. Highly recommend.
The sun came out yesterday and it was spectacular.
I’ve been to at least four pubs and had my first Guinness, which I liked. (I got a half pint, which you can do.) I’ve learned I do not like straight whisky.
Music abounds.
They have free healthcare and college here! And I have not seen a single American chain—no Starbucks, no Dunkin, no McDonald’s. Weed is illegal here. So…🍻!
Sláinte!

Thank you! They say it actually tastes different (better) here for some reason.

I’ve heard it tastes better there too. Same ingredients, but just better. Enjoy.

The Cliffs of Moher look amazing! Nothing like live music in pub. Glad you are enjoying and celebrating your 60th in style!
