We went back to Passage East today and this time I took my camera so I could get better pics.
View from the hill overlooking the village
A few miles down the road, we found tractors and trailers on the beach, getting ready to head out to oyster beds for harvest
On the way back to Waterford (city). A lovely old ruin next to a stream. I didn't have time to find more info about it, but will go back sometime
And finally, a 300-year old pub. I'm DEFINITELY going there for a pint next time, when I have more time!

Went and visited a bunch of castles today! We got to meet and talk to the owners of the 3rd one. Oh my gosh, that place is amazing inside! And the owners are really nice 
I asked if I can come photograph it properly and get some info on it for my website, which I'm planning to launch soon. Here is a preview so long…

I love your castle pictures! You should get the seasons, and make a calendar with castle pictures!

We got up yesterday morning to Garda blocking the roads into and out of the village and putting down traffic cones. Quickly found out why… This one had to go through the village:
It's part of a new wind turbine they are putting up a few miles from here. Now, as you all know our roads are not exactly wide… Turning a regular truck without an abnormal load here is tricky enough! The driver of this monster had to pull down my street, stop, raise the blade, then carefully reverse around the corner to get down the road leading out of the village. DS told me he ended up having to reverse a few miles with his load.
On the right here you can see the Ladbrokes sign (red). That's where he had to go next. They had to take down all the phone lies across the junction for this manoeuvre. I saw them stringing them back up this morning, when I walked down to the school with DS.
I must say kudos to the driver of the truck. I find it nerve wrecking enough to drive a car through these villages! lol
