under the church
The church was locked.
So all I was left with was peeking underneath it; I’ll admit that the view is really pretty dull but I do like the way the wood lattice on the other side reminds me of leaded glass windows.
Also – while “St. Brendan” might sound like the patron saint of golf shirts or something, he’s actually the patron saint of sailors, travelers, and whales. And if you only take one thing away from this post, I hope it will be that whales have their own saint.

fascinators
As soon as I noticed that these statues had spiders on their head, it made me think of those posh British-y hats called “fascinators.”
According to my research, which took between one and two minutes, the proper placement of a fascinator is on the right side. So while I can give these statues partial credit for their effort at being fancy, I believe they ought to have been more conscientious about the placement.
Also, it’s probably just me, but when I picture St. Brendan, I tend to see him in golf attire.
