In October 2001, I was "lucky" enough to join my 2 friends on a 2 week journey to tour Ireland, both the Republic and Northern Ireland. The people were just as friendly in the north as in the south and the scenery was just as beautiful! We visited castles, walked on some beautiful beaches and saw the wonders of Cliffs of Moher and Giant's Causeway.

Galway City

We got to spend a couple hours in the city of GALWAY after learning about the LYNCH STONE and how Mayor James Lynch Fitzstephen hanged his son for Murder. I guess you could say he was partial! Galway was a clean, pretty city and it was afternoon, so the streets were busy with a diverse crowd even though we had some more rain. There was a street performer who didn't move for the longest time. I almost thought he was a statue. We mostly window shopped.
CONNEMARA MARBLE FACTORY, our last stop had some pretty jewelry with different colored stones. On our way to Clifden, we passed the famous BRIDGE where a scene from "the Quiet Man" was filmed.
