Getting to know Dingle

Uncategorized 1 Minute
Our breakfast conversation: “Mom, is the hill supposed to be on fire?”
“Um, I hope so!”
Yes, the farmer set in on purpose to burn the parts that were dry and brown. He waited for the perfect conditions, and the wind was taking all the smoke out to sea.
After breakfast, we took a walk down to the beach. We could see the smoke, but couldn’t smell anything because we were upwind. The sun came out for the first time since we got here, and it felt wonderful!

We went into town to find out about the local library. We got a library card that allows us to access Wifi and check out books from any branch in Ireland! We can even take free online Gaelic classes. Since the internet access at the house is very limited, Thomas and Maggie will be doing their online classes at the library. While we were out, we also took the little kids to the playground while the girls did some shopping. We ended with some grocery shopping (we’ll do a whole post on that soon!) and a trip to the bakery.

We're a homeschooling family of eight - five girls and three boys. Our children are ages 20, 19, 17, 15, 12, 10, 7, and 5. We will be living in Ireland for the next six months, and then going to Tennessee! This blog is a documentation of our travels. Enjoy!! :)

  2. Did I tell you I’m jealous? Cause I am! But so happy you guys are getting settled!! The coast pics look like they are straight out of an episode of Poldark, even if it takes place in England! 😘😘

  3. Looks like you had a fine day near home. Fire viewing, beach, a trip to the comfort zone Library. I await the food shopping tale. We are fans of Irish candy, especially Malteasers. As Easter arrives, we like buttons. Hope you can find them in the grocery.

  4. Great news on the library access across the country so you don’t have to register with each new spot. The beach pictures are great. Hope grocery shopping went well!
