Le Chat Noir, or my chat noir, lives in Saint-Émilion, France.

We spent the day thinking we were driving around the Ring of Kerry. Turns out, we were on The Wild Atlantic Way. What a couple of Dingleberries we were. On the up side, magnificent views and no traffic. By the way, we overnighted at Murphy's B&B in green, not Murphy's Bed and Breakfast in red (above).
Wild lupins and a friendly white horse near an exhibit showing stone homes where Irish families lived and died during the infamous Irish famine. According to the guide books here, more than 2 million people either died or emegrated.
Looking out from inside a "famine cottage" Fabienne passes between the restored cottage and the Atlantic Ocean. The horseshoe on the windowsill seems an odd relic ... but then, this is a place that hopes to attract the tourist and remind them of the Luck of The Irish and the great famines 1845 and 1852. I guess it could have been worse.
Road report: Upper Rathmines Road
Timelapse video of Upper Rathmines Road shows the traffic, but it also shows the pattern of the clouds as they blow across the area.
We encountered no rain yesterday as we slept most of the day.
