This week is an easy one for me.
Obviously,
D
is for
DUNGLOE
The original Irish name means The Grey Steppingstones.Just to the left of the top picture can be found the Dungloe Day Centre.
The next sign I want to show you is that of Doherty's Travel. Doherty's runs buses throughout the area, and also hires coaches for trips as far afield as continental Europe.
And here are their town garages, and their booking office.
When your trip is over, Doherty's also have a restaurant on Main Street - nothing fancy, but the meals are filling and you can take them with you if you're short of time.
It's a colourful building!ABC Wednesday is hosted by Mrs Nesbitt.
Come and join the fun, and find other participants on the ABC page.

Awwww, I LOVE that last picture with that red house. It is soooooooo Irish, that's one of my memories from Ireland, houses in all kinds of colours!!!
Travaling around your town is so interesting. I wish I could do it in person. That is a very colorful place to eat. I hope there food is as bright as there building.
I love your dragons.
Delightful collection of D`s. But - Dear D`Star - D is also for Dragonstar ;) Greetings from Norway :)
Thanks for the tour. I enjoy blog tours.
Great D-post!
How often does the translation in English loose the magic. That brightly coloured restaurant is very inviting.
Thanks for the tour of Dungloe. How nice that you know what the original name means. Grey stepping stones...hmmm.
Great choice. I never heard of the town but I guess that's what blogging is all about. I like learning about so man different things.
Too far from California for me to take advantage of it, I'm afraid... I'm happy to see how your dragons are progressing.
Interesting photo trip to Dungloe. That red building is bright enough to cheer up a day.
I would have thought 'D' for dragons, but maybe you have done that before...But Dungloe is a good choice too...
I'm loving your dragons. These photos are great - particularly fond of the red restaurant!
loved all the pictures of 'Dees'!
The nosey parker in me does enjoy looking around places!
Delectable.
Thanks for the great tour in Dungloe. Are you Irish yourself or, as I prefer to say, a" Celt". I know that the Welsh have a dragon in their flag and they are Celts too. I like those pink coloured buildings in the UK and Ireland.
The perfect D! Next to dragons, of course:) I enjoy taking this weekly tour of your town; it would be a wonderful place to visit.
I will be on the look-out for Doherty's coaches now. When they visit Holland and I'll see them, they will be wondering who the waving mad woman is ;-)
You can't miss their restaurant. Great color.
Hi!
Wonderful "D"! Great photos! Looks very inviting! Have a great day!!
Sherrie
Oh, you live in such a beautiful, cosy place, Meri! I love the colors...
Thanks for your words of friendship, it means so much to me to read them every time I come here! :o)
I got your address, and asap I'll send your mail, sweetie.
Kisses from us.
Wow, I love that restaurant building. Eye catching.
That is a VERY colourful building!
D is most certainly for my first born son David, a joy to behold.
Here you have collected a nice photo series of the letter D.
Looks like a very neat and pretty place. The restaurant makes me hungry ...
Hi, love! My favorite D woud is, DRAGONSTAR! But yours are nice, as well. ;o)
Not sure I'm liking the new layout... change always takes me a while to become accustomed to, though, so I'll just have to get over it, won't I. ;o) HUGS!!
Sorry you couldn't hear the explanation about the didgeridoo and the sound of it. The text is about like this: In the background you hear the mysterious sound of the didgeridoo. This is my didgeridoo. It's made by Roy McIvor, an artist from Hopevale, a member of the Guugu yimidhirr tribe. He is also an uncle of my daughter's ex-husband.He told me how he makes his didgeridoos. He walks through the bush, taps on the trunks of very thin trees. As soon as he hears a hollow sound, he knows that this tree is perfect for the didgeridoo. He cuts the tree, blows out the termites, which are needed to make the tree hollow. Then he starts working on it. He paints animals on it On my didge there are a goanna and a croc. The first time I heard the didgeridoo, I got goose pimples. I got lessons but couldn't manage to play it. It's very difficult for you have to blow and breath at the same time, which is called circular breathing. May be one of you can play it
Wowser! Look at all your great D signs. Very cool!
I so enjoyed your D journey thru town esp the brightly colored eatery. Mine is up just for you.... Dragonstar, the dragons I promised you. Check them out. Do you have any like them?
I missed you last Wednesday. D is for delighful Dungloe. Thanks, Dragonstar for your personal tour!
