Self-serve dog wash station in Killarney. First I’ve ever seen of that. 🐕🧽
The gardens around Muckross House were amazing.
Muckross Abbey was very interesting to explore and learn the history. The courtyard with the Yew tree was mesmerizing.
Great tree.
Visited Torc Waterfall, fairly crowded. Then walked all the stairs to the top, less crowded. Nice hike.
Had a fun day on our rented bikes from Killarney Bike Rental exploring Killarney National Park.
I do a lot of writing on my blog and the Weekly Thing. I hope that through writing regularly I can become a better writer. When we go on trips Mazie often keeps a travel journal. The old way — on paper with a pencil. Sometimes I get to read her writing and it blows me away how well she writes. 👏
When we travel in Europe I’m always pleasantly surprised to see all the various privacy notices that websites are required to provide. I smile and press the appropriate button to reject all tracking. So easy.
