congestion

on lower main street this past Saturday in Letterkenny.  The Garda car was entering the flow of traffic.

painters

are back to work doing their job.  This building was the Bayview Bar but I don't know if it still is.

signs signs

the name reminds me of when my dad took me to Louie the barber to get my haircut.   Even if we were the only two people in his shop,  he would still ask, OK, who’s next even though my dad didn't need his hair cut.  :)

concern

When I walked pass this cement truck, the guy you see was climbing up the ladder.  Further down the road, I happened to look back and this is what I saw.  There were workers renovating the building on the right which is going to be a restaurant and no one seemed concerned.   I imagine the guy knew what he was doing but he should be following some kind of protocol.   It doesn't look good  when this is all you see.

traffic jam

a quiet one too, no horn beeping, no yelling, just another day.

decorating for a saint

these guys (photos below) have been decorating the town the last few days for St. Patrick's Day.  Here they are hanging the bunting which is the colours of the Irish flag, green, orange and white.  The big parade happens at 2:30 sharp.  This will be our first St. Patrick's Day parade in Moville and we are glad that the move is now done and behind us :)
