In Co. Kerry
... pour. It did not stop until we got closer to ballymarkeery. It was a bit scary as there was a detour onto a road that was not really suitible for high volume of traffic and rough terrain. We did not really relax until we stopped for tea at the same house we attempted to go to on route to Dingle. Then we went home.

... s. It was a very small pub with very low ceilings. Evan hit his head on the ceiling once or twice. The pub got very, very crowded. The music was wonderful! We even caught Evan tapping his foot a time or two. It was two of the same guys we saw the night before at the folk concert @ St. James. They were very good!
