Old Church and Sea Voyage

After spending a night in the town of Dingle, we started toward the westernmost point in Europe which I thought was very cool. Being on the edge of a continent...pretty much amazing. After that, we went to a pottery shop. Now I know one particular family member will be in awe, and others should appreciate it as well. This man is one of the more famous potters in Ireland, and I soon found out why. After the pottery, we went to an old church, doesn't seem like much, but a building that lasts in Europe for 1400 years is pretty amazing to me. Also, it is made by only stacking stones on top of one another, nothing to hold it together. However, the best part of the day was probably the sea cruise. We saw the southwestern Irish coastline in full beauty, along with The Great Blasket Islands whose inhabitants all left to go to Springfield, Massachusetts. The sights out on the water though were incredible, I think I took about 100 photos just out on the water. To finish the day off right, a dolphin swam up about five feet from the boat as Patrick said "it came so close you could hear it take a breath." I apologize for not snapping a picture, Patrick and I were in awe.
