June 9 Dunsmore East

 Dunsmore East is the port city for Waterford Ireland, and most of the excursions go into the big city. We've been to Waterford several times, and the factory is no longer in Ireland. And just tendering into the city would be enough excitement for us. We elected to walk through the tiny town of Dunsmore East to take in the sights.

It was a gorgeous, sunny day, but with passing showers expected. We went early, walked about, and returned to the ship just as the rains began.

This is the war memorial just outside the harbor. 

At this small inlet, viewed from the road above, a squadron of young adults heads for the water playgrounds. As you can tell from the helmets, this was not just splashing in the water. 
There's Marina in the distance
Beautiful scenery -- Ireland is very green
Haven Hotel with an ocean view
St Andrews Church of Ireland
Lawlor's Beach and the far reaches of Dunsmore East. We went no further since it was steeply downhill, and we've have to climb back up to get back to the harbor.
Some old-timey thatched roofs just at our turnaround point
Excellent landscaping in the city
