That plan is that in a couple of years, once I've found a job of some substantive nature, I will move to Galway for a couple of years. I really like Galway. It's exactly what you'd picture a small Irish coastal city to be. It's colours are almost completely grey and green (except for the shop fronts of course) but they suit the place so well. There is a fantastic rippling river running through the city. I also love its size. It is small, but there are plenty of people about, to give it a good atmosphere. Walking down the main shopping street, which we did many times today, is great fun because there are buskers all up and down it. Some better than others. One today was particularly brilliant and I managed to get a cd. Which I then realised I can't listen to until I get home, but that doesn't matter. Books are also incredibly cheap here. We whiled away a good hour in a little new and second hand book store and I could have bought so many books. I managed to keep myself to three - I'm going to have very full carry on luggage on the flight home.
We didn't get up to much today, just perusing shops. There are tons of fantastic trinket shops around here, I've picked up one necklace and could have gotten so many more. There was one gold one I particularly loved, but 180 euros did seem a bit of an excessive spend, oh and these gorgeous little egg shaped pendants, 169 euros. It's a dangerous place. I still have Dublins shops to search through though as well of course.
The weather was mostly fairly bleak today, the occassional ray of sunshine, but it seems very irish to be chilly and grey. Hopefully tomorrow there will be a little more sun though, and a little less rain, as we're off to do a day tour to the cliffs of Moher. Looking forward to that a lot.
Just a short one today, not much else to say about this place really. I'll show you photos instead. Though you kind of have to be here.
