one of his massive hands

one of his cold big feet.  You remember that he left his boots behind at the beginning of the trail

the story of the land of magic

magical village

with the fairies and trolls living in harmony.   The trolls live in the tiny houses built especially for them.

playful on the path

heading further down the path we came across some playful critters.  Here you have three jumping hares.

just around the bend, a bunch of swans singing their tunes.

giant boots

we were in Dungloe yesterday and we had some time to kill so we took a stroll through the river walk.  Not far from the entrance, these giant boots came across our path.  What's up with that, we wondered.  The next few days, I'll show you what we found out. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day

you can join the fun at the River Walk, it's all ready for the big day.  We walked it yesterday and was surprised at the job people did to create this fun excursion for the families and their kids.

Let's take the tour and see what we find.  First, the sign that greets you at the entrance, it tells you what you will find and see.  Make sure you to look for these items as you walk.

a smart leprechaun always wears a mask these days

another smart leprechaun who masks up

a good luck fairy lives here

some daffodils decorate the leprechaun's front garden

and here is the elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

Now we reached the end of our walk.  Hope you enjoyed it, I'm off to check out the pot of gold. :)

theme day - smile

rock art seen on the river walk last week.  Cheers up the walkers who pass by it.  I believe it is done by kids.  School is closed right now and they don't know when it will reopen.

CDP Theme October.. Covid-19

this is Dungloe's response to Covid-19.  The businesses have placed the necessary requirements in their stores and on their windows.  This charity shop closed down again last Friday due to the new government restrictions on Donegal.  Numbers of virus infections are increasing and the restriction are inforced until Oct 16th.

Other places like the school below have placed this sign up.

Cope's grocery store has placed a sanitize station inside the entrance door

notices placed down at the pier, one is in English, the other in Irish

another notice can be seen at the entrance to the river walk

this was seen on the back of the sign in the previous photo

"corona bad"

one result of  disposable masks is they end up as litter.  This was seen on the river walk.  Thankfully, they have volunteers here in town that make up a litter patrol.  It's sad that a community needs something like that but also it is greatly appreciated
