I'm finally in Galway! After many many hours of traveling via every mode of transportation, I'm here. It was long and stressful, but traveling is always long and stressful so what can you expect.
When we arrived, we were all really jet lagged and exhausted so spent the day mainly napping and unpacking. I'm living with three other girls from BC. We live in a huge apartment. There are a few kinks getting worked out like a lack of hot water or working outlets, but were working on it :)
At night my new roommate (Sarah) & I decided that we wanted to go out and explore. We went to this adorable bar called The Front Room. The bars here are absolutely beautiful! All cherry wood, warm fireplaces, beautiful lighting, and stained glass. Then we met up with the rest of our group at a bar name Taaffes, where there was live music and dancing. It was so fun and made me feel at home here already.
I also learned that Irish people love Boston, especially people from Galway. Everyone that I met and mentioned the Boston area to immediately went into how much they loved the city and which of their family members lived there. A few even compared the cities to be very similar. People here are so welcoming and genuinely happy to have visitors there. They all rave about how amazing Galway is. All in all, it was a great first day.
First meal in Ireland.
Beautiful bar.
Most of the group out on the first night.
Awesome live music.
So glad you are doing this to keep us connected. Those bars look amazing and exactly as I would have imagined them. The beer looks pretty good too! I'll try and get Jeremy to stop whining about his haircuts, and say something nice to you ;-) Big Hug from the Scanalonis!
