Ballydehob, Ireland

   
     Ballydehob was an unexpected pleasure and the photo above is all I have to show for it. We were doing our usual "let's see where this road takes us" in Ireland when we saw a sign for a church rummage sale. We have stopped at these sales in a number of countries. When visiting them you learn about the area, what people think is trash or treasure, and almost always have a pleasant conversation. For a reason that takes too long to explain, I collect "church keys" or beer can and bottle openers. I have them from all over. The fun ones are for local breweries and at a church sale they cost about a quarter (US). Found three at this stop. They did, however, warn us on the outside of their building that they were keeping watch over us 24 hours a day. I found it amusing on a church.
