Galway

On Wednesday afternoon, Kylie and I made the 4 hour trek up to Galway. It is a very young city...you can tell this by the number of pubs and clubs they have back to back on one street. I think on one street there was about 40 of them, so it's just like OU haha. We got into galway at around 7pm after stopping off in Limerick and Ennis...just two tiny towns on the way with some fun little sites to see. Once in Galway, we checked into our hostel....The Kinlay House.

I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in, it was nicely taken care of and everyone is really helpful and welcoming. We met our roommate, Leigham, from France. I think he was a bit overwhelmed considering our room consisted of two loud girls from the states and one quiet kid from Paris. He would offer to step out anytime we needed to "prepare," aka get dressed, shower (yes there was a separate bath with a door in our room), brush our teeth...you know, the basic preparations a girl needs to do to get ready for the night. He just didn't know what to do with himself. LOL

Kylie and I wandered around Galway city, and found ourselves in a great pub with live Irish music. That was great!!! They have the best live bands here, all acoustic and all irish. The fiddle guy had a guiness in hand the entire time. HA! After we had our fill of music at the pub, we walked across the street to get something to eat...I got the best fish and chips ever. Fish as big as your head and chips as big as your fingers (if you had 6 inch fingers). Our first night in Galway was a blast. Good thing we have one more :)
