Happy Monday from Glenbeg Lough on the Ring of Beara!
I wasn’t planning on camping here. Just a quick visit, a look, a photo and move on. But the moment I got here, my eyes popped out of my head and I couldn’t believe I got to see this beautiful landscape with my own human eyes. Forget the distance, Freyja, we are staying here for the night.
And so we found a little rock cove to shield us from the wind. This is definitely Top 5 of my favorite camping spots. Sure beats the parking lots I’ve napped in 😹
What do you think? Would you rather camp here or be parking stall bunk buddies? 😹
Drombeg stone circle, is a small axial stone circle located 2.4 km east of Glandore, County Cork, Ireland. Although not an especially significant example, Drombeg is one of the most visited megalithic sites in Ireland, and is protected under the National Monuments Act.

You know I’m celebrating National Irish Coffee Day today with my favourite Irish Cream from @fivefarmsirishcream . There are two main recipes for Irish coffee: 1. Add whiskey to brewed coffee; add sugar and cream if you’d like. 2. Add Irish cream liqueur to brewed coffee or espresso shots. Either way, you’re going to get a delicious beverage that’s cozy and warm. I’ll be drinking mine as the espresso and liqueur combo, as I’m still fully enamoured with the @nespressousa I got for Christmas. Pro tip: pull your espresso shot into a warmed glass, then pour the Irish cream over a spoon that’s just touching the side of the glass for that cool layering effect.

Hello from Drombeg Stone Circle in Glandore, Ireland! 🇮🇪🪨😺
This is an ancient megalithic site dating back to the Bronze Age to early Iron Age and was used until the 5th Century AD. The stone circle features 17 stones, 13 of which are still standing. There were cremated remains of an adolescent in a pot found in the circle’s center. The second photo shows a roasting oven area for heating water and the third photo shows the cooking area.
While it’s amazing to see stones still standing for thousands of years that were influenced by humans, it’s always a bit eerie to me that these stone circles have human remains, so I try not to step on too much of anything out of respect. These monuments are literally graveyards. So after a quick walk around and admiring the feats, I leave and don’t spend too much time at these places.
But now you can enjoy these photos without the eerie feeling I experienced 😺
I took this photo 5,156 miles away from LA across the road from my sisters house near Fermoy, Co. Cork. There’s no place like home. #fermoy #cocork #countycork #ireland #tree #silhouette #sunset #irishsunset #greenfields #irish #cork (at Fermoy Co.

Overseas travel from Ireland is discouraged at the moment but domestic travel has opened up so I hopped on a ferry for some island-hopping which felt like an ‘overseas’ escape! First stop was Sherkin Island, which has been on my wish list for so many years... #travel #Ireland #Cork #CountyCork #WestCork #SherkinIsland #Sherkin #staycation #island #sea #islandhopping #ferry #Atlantic #WildAtlanticWay #makeabreakforit #traveldeeper #natgeo #guardiantravelsnaps #bbctravel #travelphoto (at Sherkin Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXABMhBQXY/?igshid=12wlfbjggrtdj
