Nice Walk

Nancy is in town, so we are trying to do some exploring. the other day we woke to sunshine and calm weather, so we decided to explore our surroundings with a walk up Killiney hill.  It was great.  We even discovered a new swimming spot in Killiney bay. In the picture above you can just make out a few brave souls warming in the sun after a chilly dip.  We were not sure if they were fully dressed as many people swim in the nude. We kept our distance.

This is a view looking back at Dalkey island. From here we ascended the hill up a long flight of stone stairs. Soon we were in a park, surrounded by dogs and their owners. Rebekah was in Heaven.  It seems almost everyone here wants to talk, and all the dogs enjoy a good scratch.

We ended our walk in the village, admiring the charming houses, gardens and doors. They enjoying painting them bright colors  which adds some falir to the otherwise monotonous brick.

In Ireland, when you get  a nice sunny day, I think it is best to drop whatever you are doing and go enjoy it, You are never sure when another will roll around!
