The Road to Galway

Hey All!

We safely arrived at Dublin airport at quarter till seven this morning, five hours ahead of eastern standard time. The flight was fairly painless, and all bags arrived as expected. We didnt really have a plan regarding our schedule here in Ireland, so instead of burning a day in Dublin, we decided to rent a car and drive across the island to Galway. The drive was very scenic, and took about 2 hours, which beats the bus ride we had originally planned on (both fiscally and in time). When we arrived here, we got out and walked around a bit, tried to contact some friends here in Galway, then ended up going and taking a nap over on the side of the road. Eventually we woke up, walked around a bit, and finally got in touch with one of Matt and Robs friends from Chapel Hill who has been here studying the music and film scene. Galway is known as the center for the arts here in Ireland, and has proven to be a unique experience.
