My little slice of Dublin for the next few days is by lovely St. Anne’s Park … and the Little Sisters of the Poor.

An amazing day spotting the Shannon Estuary’s resident bottle nose dolphins and hitting spots on the loop head peninsula and Cliffs of Kilkee. Football in four days. 🇮🇪

Scattery Island has a fascinating history. Founded by St. Senan in the 6th century. Supposedly banished a sea monster to bring Christianity there. They repelled and were sacked by Vikings repeatedly. Amazing views, too (even on rainy, cloudy day).

Another cool place to stay tonight … this one on Kilrush Marina on County Clare after a day on the very intriguing and picturesque (and award winning) Scattery Island.

Slept by the sea on Achill Island last night. Will dream amid the mountains on the outskirts of Connemara National Park tonight. #blessed

Went to Gielty’s on Achill Island for excellent sea bass, then came back for a few drinks and a trad music jam session. Lovely!
