Saturday morning, October 24. I met up with my parents at their hotel and then we hit the road, GPS Navigator in tow, thank goodness! Along the way we stopped in a small town for some Irish grub, almost always consisting of vegetable soup and brown bread - its famous over here, but don't let that fool you - stick to white bread if you can. Later in the afternoon, we arrived in the beautiful coastal town of Dingle. We spent the afternoon and early evening wandering the town and its local shops. We stopped for dinner at a delicious seafood restaurant (again, blanking on the name - apologies) which claims to be the oldest restaurant in the town. Then again, a handful of places claim to be, so who knows? After dinner we returned to our cosy B&B to watch the X Factor (my favorite television show over here), which it turns out our TV did pickup.

Picture 3 - Dad pretending to be Irish . . .
Picture 4 - . . . which, as it turns out, might not be too hard, considering Newman is an Irish name. Here dad is posing in front of the Douglas Newman Good realtor company.
