While hiking the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland I stopped at a pub near Brandon Point. The barmaid and a local gentleman were the only ones in the pub at the time. After I rested a bit and finished my Guinness I asked the local if I was correct in guessing that it would take me around an hour to walk to the next village. He raised his glass and told me I was correct but if I had another Guinness it would only take me 45 minutes.
Thank you for taking us along with you and telling us about Pascal, Mary. I love the way you tell these stories and your thirst for adventure never ceases to amaze me.
Beautifully written...if there was ever such a week as this, when we need an uplifting story about the simple good in human beings, you have provided it... thank you... :)

That’s hilarious, Denny. But better mileage with Guinness, of course.
LOL, You bought a book to learn the tides. Sweeney's Pub and Pascal, connecting. Love it!
Thank you, Shirley. You always get my humor. . .

Thanks, Kathi. Many people think of me as a hermit, but as you can see, I'm out there. Just not in many places where the there is well-known.
