• Day 6: Galway City

    Yesterday in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    We spent the day in Galway city
    We started with a guided tour to get the history overview and our bearings. I think the rough power timeline is Celts-Gaels-Anglo Normans(Spanish influence through trade)-Cromwell (Anglo Norman's now called Tribes of Galway or Irish)-English/Irish- Republican Irish. Not sure this is 100% correct, but this country has a complicated history, and Galway is different from Dublin, which has Viking rule as well.

    Also saw the monument to JFK and shopped for an Arin sweater and took in the buskers on Quay Street. Big day!
