In Galway


Hey All,

Sorry for the brevity of the post earlier, I am still getting used to paying for internet and these euro keyboards, so please forgive my poor punctuation. As stated we arrived in Galway, Ireland two days ago, and have called this home for the past few nights. The first day we pretty much just walked around a lot and eventually ended up meeting up with that guy Guion, who took us to a legit Irish pub that plays "Trad" or Traditional Irish music which was sweet. That night we all ended up sleeping in our rental car (a VW Golf) and uncomfortably woke the next morning either due to uncomfort or smell. That day we did a lot of laying low in town, and ended up meeting some neat people in the process. There was a man who is trying to be a Franciscan monk who was passing out tracts who I started a conversation with, who ended up inviting me out to lunch and we talked about Catholecism and his Irish upbringing over some Chowder which was really great. That night we ended up getting in touch with one of Matts contacts and have now gained a floor to sleep on which is a HUGE upgrade needless to say. Today we woke up, hooked up with Guion, and drove northwest for the day to a beautiful town called Clifden. Clifden is a quaint that seems to be nestled right in between a harbor on the Atlantic and farm country, so the views were pretty remarkable. We roamed around a bit there and then settled down in a little cafe with a book and tea and took some time to relax which was quite theraputic. We came home, ate dinner, and are fixing to head to bed shortly. Tomorrow morning we will sleep in a bit, then travel south to the Cliffs of Mohers for the day (see picture). I hope this finds all of you well, take care.

Yo - I loved the Cliffs of Moher. Get ready for pure awesomeness. And if you have a day to go over to Rathlin Island on the ferry - do it. It's deserted and beautiful.
