Across the harbor from Kinsale is James Fort. Nice views of Kinsale and surrounding area. Although difficult to see, there is a moat around the fort.
Very Picturesque!
Next post will be of Dingle.

Ireland Part 3
St. Anns, Dublin. This is the Anglican version of St. Anns. There is also a Catholic version of St. Anns Church in Dublin. I guess there was a shortage of saints, so…….?
We took a day trip to of Dublin to a Neolithic site called the Hill of Tara. This was on the path towards to hill and the ancient site.
No Neolithic in Ireland would be complete without the ever present sheep.
Our Family next to the bus we had for the day. We had an amazing guide for the day who was full of info to share as well as humor. Left to right in the photo: Jess ( our daughter in law), yours truly, our son, Ian ( his son, with the ginger hair), Elliott, our daughter Larissa, behind Elliott ( she kept on task, organized and busy throughout our trip in Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland; her son Adam, my wife, Dianna, Maddy, our granddaughter peeking around Dianna and Mark, our son in law.
My next post will take us to Kinsale, Ireland. Thanks for coming along!!
Edinburgh Pt. II
The Royal Mile, courtyard adjacent to the Writers Museum.
Followed by: Holyrood Palace, Grayfriars Bobby ( with our daughter doing the ritual ), Various flora.
Next post ( stop ) will be Dublin. We spent three days in Edinburgh, which included going to the Annual Military Tattoo, which was as amazing this time as our first.
Architectural note: Edinburgh is the only major city in the world that does not have or allow skyscrapers. Although the city has an “old town”, the entire city seems old- like stepping back in time.
Edinburgh
Before heading to Ireland we stayed in Edinburgh for three days to see the Tattoo as well as wander around the old city. We stayed right on the Royal Mile, which is one of the oldest, cobblestoned streets in Edinburgh. The Writers Museum was really cool. The building itself was amazing to walk through.

My granddaughter, Madeleine, helping me figure out how to take a panoramic shot on my phone. I understand cameras, but not so much the ones embedded in iPhones.
Live musicians and actors performed all day on the Royal Mile, as it was Fringe Festival time in Edinburgh. This musician is Luke Gajdus. You can catch him on Instagram and YouTube. Our Granddaughter was entranced listening. We stayed till he stopped for the day, just before dusk.

St. Andrews Church.
Along the Royal Mile there are, too many to count, what are called “Closes”, these little walkways between old buildings. Some open up to a courtyard behind the buildings and others are just a pass through to the adjacent street. All have interesting, sometimes historical names.
Recent Idaho Road Trip
Most of these images are from our two day stay in a very tiny town in Idaho called Downey. The mill or grain storage facility must’ve closed years ago, but it this is a glimpse into the American past. This is what is referred to as the high desert.
Early Spring Images
A few early Spring images from Seattle. Also, a shot me at the Cancer Center getting my 17th immunotherapy infusion.
Fall: Past Images
Quick health update: original plan was to do immunotherapy for one year, which would’ve ended with November’s infusion. Last month the oncologist told me I would be doing immunotherapy ‘indefinitely’. So, a little disappointing, but you just move on. Not everything in life has a beginning, middle and end.
All good 👍🏻.
