Dingle weather not just a fluke
Most people tend to associate rainy, cold weather with the Emerald Isle but the last two days would prove them so wrong. We took the long drive to Dingle from Galway and enjoyed the warm weather the whole day. It even allowed for an impromptu stop in Limerick!
Dingle is, in a word … tiny. But, oh so charming. The narrow streets are chuck full with intersting shops and lots of pubs, cradling the water’s edge - no wonder so many celebrities use it as a secret getaway.

Today we explored the entire Dingle peninsula, with many stops along the way to take in the old ruins at Dun Beg Fort and Gallarus Oratory. But arguably the highlight of the day was the breath-taking view of the coast. The weather has been more than kind, blessing us with relentless sunshine. Most of us managed to ditch our jackets. Who knows what the weather will be like tomorrow but with a free afternoon ahead, students are considering horseback riding, exploring the Blasket Islands and going in search of Fungi the dolphin!

Dingle was amazingly beautiful all of the students enjoyed the quaint little harbor-town - and our Bed and Breakfast. Several students took a look in the Dingle Aquarium, where sting rays competed for attention at the touch tank by peaking their nose out and splashing around. I went to see Fungie the dolphin, and it was a game to see where he would pop up next. The adorable town of Dingle has got to be many of our favorites so far, I know it’s mine!
