IRISH ODYSSEY - DAY 4 - PART 2

IRISH ODYSSEY...DAY 4...PART 2...JUNE 30 2011

Well, June is definitely going out with a BANG.  We had one wing-ding of a storm move through last evening, wind gusts over 65 miles per hours, trees and trash down everywhere.  No electric.

If no electric, how am I blogging?  Good question.  Luckily we have a generator, keeps our lights on, can use a tv and computer, water pump works so we can use the bathroom, refrigerator cold.  Nothing big can be used, i.e., the air conditioner and the stove, but at least it is cooler and we can run down to WV - The Highlands - and eat.  WV has electric.  PA does not.  Figures.

Will finish day 4 our of odyssey, which consists of Dingle Bay, Kenmare, Moll's Gap and the Ring of Kerry, ending in Killarney. 

This part of our trip was mostly scenic, with photo stops along the way.  Molls Gap and the Ring of Kerry is a mystical Celtic tourist trail through some of the best scenery in Ireland. 

We stopped in Kenmare for lunch, learned about the Blaskett Islands that were inhabited for a brief period of time, but are now abandoned, and enjoyed the drive on to Killarney, where we checked into the Killarney Plaza Hotel for the next 2 nights.

The trip went by all too fast, tomorrow would be day 5 already. 

Back to reality.  Sounds as if our electric will be off for sometime, every community around us is blacked out.

Try to stay cool, hope for the best, eat out, go to bed early, and God Bless.
