Today was spent driving the 30-mile Dingle Peninsula loop, known here as Slean Head. It is an absolutely beautiful drive, filled with seascapes, mountain vistas (covered in fog), and lots & lots & lots of greenery. There were also fort ruins and ancient homes to explore. The fort & homes we saw today date back to 800 AD - and the homes were of the most wicked design - Beehive huts! Round on the outside, square on the inside. Once you were inside, the wind was completely blocked out (no mortar, either, thank you very much!) and even Bill could stand up inside. Here are a few of our favorite Beehive Hut pictures. Enjoy!
Above is outside, and below is Bill & I inside our new home - we're never coming back, 'cause Beehive Huts rule!! :)
(The tiny little hole is a bit much for Bill to crawl through, but I think he'll get used to it in time...)
It's so cool to see you in places that I've been to too. Loved the beehive huts!
