Thanks, guys!
GALWAY - DAY 1 Cont.
So, Joanne's childhood friend and her Irish husband were our tour guides as neither is from Galway but they've been living there for like 20 years.
The husband thought I was from Waterford so he's now my absolute favourite.

A lot of the bathrooms in Ireland have something like this. Feels like the whole country is hosting some kind of gaming convention.

Aisling (Ash-Leeng) is a woman's first name in Newfoundland, seems to be a surname in Ireland I guess.

There were quite a few scarecrows out this way with the Queen's head on them. Tsk tsk.

We went to an old tower in the woods for ice cream. Sounded like a horror movie set-up. And, to be honest, still felt like one even when we were eating our delicious whipped ice cream lol

After everyone else was going to bed, I went downtown to check out the bars. Such a great night out - it's not quite as busy as George Street in any one place, but it's spread out over a bigger area. There's crowds on streets even without any businesses open. And the people were best kind - spent maybe 20 minutes alone before a table adopted me. And, damn... such a fun night. I didn't even go home. There was even a Portuguese sailor involved.
