Dunquin and the elusive Blaskets
I'd hoped to go out to the Blaskets. But the weather did not permit the boats to make the effort. Instead, I visited a graveyard where several of the Blasket characters are buried. Deep holes sinking into the graves and crooked old grave stones. Two magpies and rain. Later sat at the desk in the B&B and stared out at the Blaskets--coming and …
