7 27 14 A day in Killarney

For breakfast, we headed for the local bakery/restaurant, but it was so busy, we gave up and returned to the boat. 

Great view while waiting for the boat shuttle

The local fish fry, which supports the volunteer fire fighters, was held at the community center a few blocks away.  The fish was really good, but we had way too much. We should have shared a lunch.

Space also serves as winter ice hockey rink

 On the walk  back to the boat, we visited their Korean War Memorial and stopped at the cemetery.  By the time we returned to the shuttle, it had begun to rain.

Our slip across the Killarney Channel

We took a dinghy ride down the channel to Our Lady Of Lourdes grotto.  It is up a set of steps and through a small wooded area.  Set inside a cave-like structure is a memorial dedicated to those who served in WWI and WWII.

 

 

 

 

 

Dinner tonight was at Killarney Mountain Lodge.  The food was ok, but small quantities for the price.  The Lodge itself is worth seeing.  They have a huge fireplace in the bar area which is surrounded by comfortable bench seats.  The restaurant is covered with pine walls and has a great view of the water.
