Today we drove to the Dingle Peninsula. The drive was very nerve wrecking since we were so close to the edge, but it was also very beautiful. Apparently a dolphin named Fungi hangs out in the waters close by and has been there for around 20 years dipping in and out of the water. I also learned that fishermen on this island had many superstitions. If they saw a red-headed women before they went to fish they would turn around and go home since that was bad luck. We saw so many cute little lambs!!
