Kinsale Part IV

Just outside the town was Charles Fort which protected the town through history. I liked the view of the water through the arch of the entrance. I nearly blew away painting this one. lol

This is another view looking out from the harbor. The land is so green.


This gem down by the harbor looked like it needed a little TLC, but I imagine
that it had a wonderful view of the area.


We went to Kitty O Se's a second night to hear traditional Irish music.
They started out with 3 musicians and over the course of the evening 3 more musicians 
came in and sat down to join them. Then another musician from the USA who had her clarinet in her hotel room joined in. It was really a fun night.

Dingle Part III

Here is another of Dingle's many pubs.

Right outside of the town of Dingle was Minard Castle which I loved. It was in ruins, but it is in this gorgeous setting on a hill overlooking the water. I liked it so much that I did two views of it.



Apparently there is an art to pouring Guinness. This was done at the Mighty Session, another pub known for their traditional Irish music.
