Galway

Okay, this is going to be short and sweet, since I have a paper I really ought to be writing, in addition to packing and everything that needs to be done before I come home on Saturday.

Some new pictures are up here.

Galway was great. I've officially figured out both Dublin city buses and Irish national buses and can make my way across the country without much trouble by myself. Andrea (a friend from TU) met me at the bus. Friday was devoted to meandering through Galway's city centre a bit, walking up Salt Hill and then to a party with some of the exchange students at the National University of Ireland. They were mostly French, with a couple of Qubeckers thrown in, but they were nice enough to speak English.

Saturday was spent acquiring some of the best fish & chips in the British Isles at McDonaugh's -- at least, that's what their sign says. Andrea showed me Shop Street and we went to the local market. Sunday I caught a bus tour all around the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. It's amazing scenery and I took a ton of pictures.

Monday was the bus ride back to Dublin and the beginning of the great paperwriting marathon to which I will now return.

See y'all soon!
