A Thursday in June

A Thursday in June

I didn't want to wait another day to write this while I still had some energy left tonight. It was a busy day.

We woke up early in Kilmore Quay and after breakfast headed down to the harbour to take a few pictures and look over to the Saltee Islands. We will have to wait for another trip with more time to take the boat trip over to see all the animals and natural elements that live and thrive on the islands.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. The sun was out and the sky was clear. We headed into Wexford to meet up with Majella Londra for lunch at the Stable Diet Cafe on the third floor of the Opera House overlooking Wexford Harbour. It was great to see Majella again, and have some time to visit with her. We met her the first time we were in Wexford 3 years ago.

After lunch and back at the car we changed directions yet again. We were going to visit Johnstown Castle, but the weather was so beautiful we decided to take the drive down to Hook Head Lighthouse today instead of tomorrow. Might as well take advantage of the great weather, and you never know what might happen in 24 hours. Hook Head Lighthouse did not disappoint. I've been there before, but I'm such a sucker for a beautiful view I never mind going back.

I hope my pictures are at least a little indication of how beautiful out it was today. I left my one camera in the car, so pictures from earlier in the day will have to wait until tomorrow. :)

The drive back went smoothly; i.e., we did not get lost or even take a wrong turn. Of course that was different in Wexford Town where so many of the streets are one way and angle into one another. It was not long and we were at our B&B, and off for some dinner and a drink.

We had been told by Michael Londra we should definitely stop in at Simon Lamberts for a drink. And so we did. It was still early, 9:00PM, when we left to walk back to the B&B, so the evening crowd had not started to gather.

We can only hope that tomorrow brings as beautiful weather as today and be off to see some more of the area around Wexford Town.

Here are a couple of pictures from around Hook Head Lighthouse.
