Visited some popular Galway pubs last night after a reception and Independence Day bbq sponsored by the school for all of the visiting Americans. The reception/bbq was held at the college bar and included free drink coupons. Several people left without using theirs and gave them to my table. So we used them. I, of course, started off with a pint of Guiness and then had a few Smithwicks. Then we proceeded to the city centre and visited a few pubs. No traditional Irish music, but a good band at one that covered a bunch of Americans like Kenny Rogers, CCR and Bob Dylan. The hilarious part of the Dylan cover was that last time I was here, Sarah and I couldn’t find a B&B in Galway because they were all booked due to a Dylan concert.
This morning it was up bright and early even though class didn’t start until 10:30 because I needed to get some clothes. My lost bag had been put on the 10:30pm flight from Dublin to Galway, but a 30 euro round trip to the airport last night wasn’t on my agenda. Before class started, I was pleased to learn that my bag had been delivered to my residence.
It’s been a bright and sunny day so far (meaning there has only been a little bit of rain), but it looks like it might be clouding up more. I might turn in early tonight; we’re getting a tour of the city tomorrow, and I’m not sure my knees and feet will be able to withstand a ton of walking both tonight and tomorrow. We’ll just have to see. I’m trying to go with the flow and follow my instincts.
No pictures yet. I’m sure I’ll take some tomorrow on my tour and Monday we go into Connemara, so that will be picture time for sure.
