Another weekend trip during my stay in Dublin. People say Galway is a must-see..

Great Country, beautiful landscape, lovely ppl....

Didn't sleep well, once again.  I am beyond exhaustion... Anyhow, got up too early and left the hostel without their nutritious, wonderful breakfast.  Instead of taking the bus to the airport which I have a ticket for, purchased two days before, I took a train by mistake a…

I arrived in Galway on a wonderful sunny evening. And the evenings in Ireland are quite sunny, it doesn't get dark until 11pm, which causes me a great amount of confusion expecially since my watch stopped working :( Anyway, I meet a couple of American girls while checking into my hostel, who couldn…

Hey, sorry about the lack of updates, I've been really busy with school and when I actually get home to sit down a write I'm too tired.  That and as of last night my internet has died.  Well what is happening with me now?  I went to the Aran Islands with Katie, Lindsay, and Meghan th…

One idle Friday morning Mother decided she wanted to go find Padraig Pearse's House in connemara, Co.Gaway. This was the place he used to bring his students from Dublin to learn and experience the Irish language, which at that time was not being taught in most irish schools. I was due back in …

anna and i headed to galway for four days to get away from the hustle and bustle of dublin. we wanted to go the aran islands, as well as the cliffs of moher. galway itself was a nice little town, and quite a change from dublin. its basically a bunch of pubs around one square - with a pedestrian…

Hey everyone, sorry it has been so long since I last wrote. A lot has happened since Cork! We are now in Galway, but let me catch you up. After Cork we went to Kenmare, the Ring of Kerry, and Dingle, which were all gorgeous! I don't remember if Rock of Cashel, Cobh, and Waterford were before or aft…

After a busy, fun filled day driving all over northwestern Ireland, we reached Galway.  As our drive wound the bus down the narrow streets, we reached one place near the hostel where traffic was backed up.  As we got off the bus to investigate, we could see that there were several cars wa…

So I finally bid farewell to the folks at Mainister House and got on the noon ferry.  It was tough and I know I'll have to say a lot of good byes along the way, but if I plan to get to Dublin next Friday, I knew I had to get moving.  Some other long term guests finally left with me this a…

Laura, Kate, and I rented a bike last night and went off on a trail along the river. It led to a really beautiful castle covered in ivy. We managed to wake up this morning for breakfast... toast and coffee... but we definitely got our moneys worth, we practically took a loaf of bread with us for pb…

After a most needed night of sleep, Jim and I got back into our little Ford Focus and began our drive to the East Coast of Ireland. Once we arrived in Galway City we checked into our B&B, which had a wonderful view of Galway Bay, relaxed for a little while, then headed into the city to explore.…

It was Saturday morning and time to move on down the road.  After another delicious breakfast in the hotel's dining room, Des loaded our luggage into the van and I checked out at the front desk.  The weather was again cool and damp and I was somewhat worried about the high winds.  We…
