dingle is a beautiful village in western ireland. now, as i was there in february, it was cold, and as it was, you know, ireland, it was raining. and i got there at night. so i didnt see much. but even though i was freezing and wet through the spirit of the place is lovely and shines through. its such a small village that it consists mainly of two pubs, a church and a family run hostel. the pub i went to featured a peat fire and was favored by locals. everyone was friendly. the best part was not the bar food, which was excellent, or the bulmers on tap, also excellent, or even the locals, of course excellent. it was the crew of musicians and singers that meandered in and out of the rain, singing  and playing traditional irish folk songs.  its not to be missed. the music brought my heart into my throat. dingle is not to be missed.
