Top of the morning to ya. My latest expedition was the beautiful lands of Galway. Let me tell you it was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. It was another class trip all of us Americans took within the program. We headed there thursday morning and were able to bop around the main city part the first day. Two of my friends were getting peircings and i had to leave the room due to my weakness of needles and the "B" word which i cannot mention without getting weak and my fingers feeling as though they are paralyzed. Anywho, i wandered around the town for awhile by myself and stumbled into a salon where i had my bangs or as they call it "fringe" trimmed. It was cheap and i needed it done. My hair is getting so long, i cannot wait to get it cut when i go back home but for now it works. I also bought myself some more hairspray, what an achievement! I can honestly say this trip has helped make me a more independent person! I really like that rompous!
That night we went out to a bar with a friends parents of mine where they had coctails for 5 euro! BARGAIN!!! We topped the night off with an amazing gyro and fries with vinegar( Im going to miss this but i am thinking of carrying a bottle of vinegar around with me in the states for fries!)
Next day we were off to Connermara which is savage beauty and one of the last unspoilt areas in ireland. It has also been regaurded as the real EMERALD of ireland! It was so busy minus the fact i got bus sick on the bus and needed a garbage bag. We were basically offroading it times 5. I had to move to the front of the bus which was great because me and the bus driver became bofofs! Anywho we arrived at a Kylemore Abbey (Castle) which was now turned into a nun convent area. We got too go inside a few rooms. It was built back in the day by some rich irish man! It was interesting. We wandered to the garden area but it was more like a dead garden right now, but i am sure it is beautiful in the in season. I figured this castle could be my third castle for summer days. I have my castle in Scotland, Dublin and now here in Galway- life is grand. that night i took it easy and stayed in and watched American Idol and some sassy vampire show that i became addicted too. Its something about Vampires.....
The next day we traveled to the Aran island. We climbed up to the cliffs. it was so MAGICAL. Although i was nervous at first getting close to the edge. My luck would be id trip or something and then bye bye ireland. I sat with my feet dangling over the edge just pondering life, something i tend to do a lot! It made me wish everyone i loved could be there with me at that very moment. I am so thankful for my life. We toured the small city of about 800 and even went into their only supermarket!! The big sale item there was sweaters. They were so beautiful but expensive. They were so beautiful and handmade(At least some were). That night we hit the town. It was so crazy how there would be people outside who would stamp you and take you to the bar and give free drinks. it definitely is a college persons trap! But i loved it. it was fun!! We danced the night away. On the bus ride home i was thinking how bloated i was from all our 3 course nightly dinners. blahhhhh! Also i bought an official rugby jersey in Galway! its black and has green on it with the Puma cat!! SO PUMPED!!! Now i fit in!! Love it!!! Anywho remember folks that Galway is the way to go! It was so nice to see yet another part of Ireland! I cannot get enough.
Anywho it was time to get back and prep for the one and only ST. Paddy's day!!!!!
Catch ya all on the flip side! Love you!
