river walk

 in Dungloe.  The river walk is a 2 km loop and  a picturesque stroll through nature.

new gazebo

 down at the waterfront in Dungloe.  It acts as a bus shelter when it rains.

sweeney's hotel

renovation is now completed, it took a very long time with the pandemic pauses and the construction workers who left and had to be replaced.  Not only the outside was transformed by the inside had to be gutted.  I think they did a wonderful job and I imagine it was very spendy.  I finally got to see the finished hotel a few months back.  We were living across the street from it when it first began.

carnival time

it's that time of year.  This one was at the beginning stages of just setting it up.

the bell

 outside the library.  The library used to be a church.

market day

a few people come down from Northern Ireland and place their items  by and on their cars on main street to sell.  People do stop and look but I don't know how successful the sellers are.  A windy or rainy day would cause some problems I would think.

We used to shop here when we lived  in Dungloe.  Twenty-two singers gathered in the supermarket to sing some uplifting tunes and brighten everyone’s day.  If interested click here to watch (video 2:47)

photo booth

I remember seeing these machines when I was a teenager.  This was a replacement for the DVD rental machine that was out of service, I showed it back in January.  I wonder if anyone will use this machine.
