The beach, BBQs and big nights out
Today is the final day of Puck Fair. We've yet to head into town today. We didn't get back last night until 4am. We all took full advantage of the extended pub opening hours.
So far today we've reviewed photos and video from last night, sat around outside enjoying the warm Kerry sun while Cormac flew kites, watched some Brick family home videos, and been to the beach. Right now Cormac and his brother Collin are preparing for tonight's BBQ.
We had a BBQ last night as well. The lamb was some of the best I've ever tasted (no offence meant to Australian lamb of course). We also went to the beach yesterday as well. For the last month or so, I've been missing swimming, and I have especially been missing the beach, so it has been absolutely fantastic to be able to go and swim at one.
After tonight's BBQ, we'll be heading into town for another big night out. Although we went and watched the crowning of the goat on Thursday, we won't be going to see him being taken down from his tower. That's happening in about 20 minutes time. We will definitely be out to see the fireworks at midnight though.
In short, Puck Fair has well and truly lived up to my expectations, and getting to go to the beach was an added bonus. All in all, great craic.

What was the goat's name ?
I think I read in the newspaper that his name was King Louis.
More information about King Louis, "the sole reigning monarch": "a wild mountain goat aged 10 years and with a 27-inch horn span" (from the Irish Times).
The queen of Puck Fair, who had the honour of crowning King Louis, was Queen Kelley.
I guess Queen Kelley wasn't a goat then ? Must be one skilled goat if she could :-)
And Kelley can't be from Oz either, as she'd be called Queen Kelli .......
