I don't love my job...

 I love my job

 I am a sand dog...

I am not a sand dog!

 I am a stone statue of Oscar Wilde

 We pretend to be bronze statues... we've just finished work

I am still at work

Guinness is our main competitor...

Bloody Guinness marketing!!!

Look what it does to you...

NORTHERN IRELAND... Where you pay for your guinness in pounds and not in euros

Sunny day on the harbour

All's quiet on the Eastern front

Some peaceful tourists

Gone fishing

Even time for a little stretch...

Pub Bed and Breakfast

View from our bedroom

 

New best friends

Wild, wild west

O happy cows

She is doing yoga stretches

Same yogini, different angle, different asana

Very Irish and proud of it

Shall we catch some lobster for you?

OK then, with a guinness, please!

The Dingle peninsula

Mount Brendon peninsula

 Lala girl on the edge

Jojoboy happy

 Beautiful coast line

Seagulls like it

Sometimes they stop flying or fishing just to contemplate...

...

... or just to rest

Let's not talk about the sheep...

The walk as if they owned the peninsula...

Some even find time for romance...

Some appear to get lost

 2 tickets for the 2000 year-old visit of behive homes, please

Just rocks piled on top of each other: waterproof and warm inside

The town of Dingle

Irish people... beautiful, warm, proud

Last few days in Ireland at Buddhist retreat Centre

We spent the last few days at Dzogchen Berea, a buddhist retreat centre on the Berea peninsula. A place where people come to unwind, relax, meditate.

The cottage where we slept along with about 10 other people

Our shared kitchen

One of the meditation buildings

Standing meditator

Mediation with a view...

After meditation, the ocean appears bluer...

... or greyer, depending on your perception

Buddhas smile

Other buddhas quietly sit in the garden

Would be Buddhas wobble and try to smile in a garden

Horses are busy being horses

Cats are cats...

Others wave good to Ireland on the ferry in their own way.
