I thought this would be so cool! Learning to make Irish Stew and soda bread.
We had to take a taxi to this woman's house. It was about 30 minutes.
We got there, and what I thought was aRead more

We took a taxi to the promenade. We went to the casinos. We had linner. We walked the beach and watched all the Irish taking their evening swim. Mom met a friend on the beach while Cory and I walked.Read more
Traveler I really enjoyed Salt Hill Promenade. The restaurants, pubs and people. I did experience meeting a nice Irish man who had just come out of ocean from his daily swim. While talking, he continued to remove his swimsuit, dry off and dress. All I could do was to continue to talk 😀 Sara is right, Americans are a bit prude with naked bodies. After he was dressed, I spotted a jelly fish. He told me about the seasons of them and how thier stings are not too bad if they get you while swimming.

We saw a comedy show here today. It was...ok. That's all I'm gonna say about that.
Also, there were cameras in the bathroom. Not in the stalls, but still. Weird.

A fun little area in the heart of Galway. The arts festival is going on now. The Irish truly use their parks and grass areas for relaxation. Love it!
You do have to pay to use the public toilets. WeRead more

Our airbnb in Galway was in a great location! Easy walking to Eyre Square and The Latin Quarter. Our hostess, Marie, was very sweet. A talker and a hugger. The accommodations were so cute andRead more
Traveler Cute location and rooms. Comfortable accommodation. Marie, the host, was nice. I'm sure her breakfast is yummy for locals. She had a pet bird that talked a lot. I could hear him each morning from my window. I saw her cat that she said may come in my window for some cuddles but he never came in.

Alan Barnes picked us up at 8am for our very packed day. He went over our day with us as we left Dingle. The weather report the night before said terrible, terrible rain for our drive. Alan had evenRead more
Traveler Beautiful day! Was Alan wearing a tie? Did you walk up to or through the castle(s)?

We made it just in time for a pop into the chocolate shop for a homemade dessert. No time to tour the factory unfortunately. But we were fine with that. On our way to the chocolate factory, we ranRead more

Don’t eat that! Poo poo. Ml

That looks … good (?).
Traveler Even with the long taxi ride and the crazy Sprite with a very unorganized class setup, the experience was fun! The lamb stew was pretty darn good. Fresh veggies from her garden were amazing. The bread that we so carefully took back in taxi and carried around like baby Jesus until we got back to our room was Poo Poo indeed 😄 Sorry to have missed the dinner, but you can't get everything perfect. Next time!
