Kendall, pick up Peig Sayers' book about Great Blasket Island if you can. It will give you a great flavor and feel for the area. If the weather is fine, you might want to make the crossing to see Great Blasket. A Guide to the Dingle Peninsula is not only a great guidebook, but is full of myths and real history of the area. Many of the spectacular spots on the peninsula were scenes of magic, battle, and romance.
