alex in galway

Alex & I have been having such a good time so far! I recently got a new camera that Alex brought over for me, so I've been taking millions of pictures. I've wanted a nice camera for a long time, so I'm really loving it. Expect tons of pictures on facebook soon :)

On the first day we relaxed and napped (since Alex was jet lagged) then went out to dinner to one of my favorite pubs. We went out to a few different pubs that night and heard some great music. The next day we spend the day exploring Galway. I showed him the downtown area and then we walked along the water to Salthill, which has a pretty promenade. Alex loved all the shops and pubs. He's been loving trying all the beers here and agrees that Guinness really does taste better here. As a car lover, he also loves all the European cars.

The next day Amy, Laura, and Gabe came to visit us! It was so nice to see them and be reunited. We also walked around Galway, and went out for fish and chips for lunch. Galway is pretty small so we were able to see everything in one day. I showed them all my school and favorite shops :) Yesterday, we did a day tour to the Cliffs of Moher. I had been once before but this time we went with a different tour group, so some of the sights along the way were different. Our tour guide was this old man (who looked like he shouldn't be driving!). He was so funny and lovable, and made us laugh the whole day. It was a cloudy day but it was actually almost better for seeing the cliffs. The day I went before, it was so sunny, it was hard to see them really well. Just as our time was up at the cliffs fog rolled in and completely blocked them, so we left just in time :) 

All of us along the River Corrib.

All of us! (minus Gabe who had to go home)

Tomorrow, Alex and I are leaving for Barcelona until Saturday. It has always been a city I wanted to see, so I really can't wait. When we get back, were going to spend a day in Dublin before Alex leaves.
