Galway and foggy cliffs

Well, we bussed into Galway yesterday indeed, but we only had 4 hours there. Then we had to catch a different bus out to Doolin, where the Cliffs of Moher are.

Last night, we went out to a pub in Doolin and it was pretty cool. We heard real, traditional Irish music live. I took a video of the group playing. I hope it turns out well. Tried a brew called Smithwicks. It was good.

Galway was really great though. Tomorrow morning we go back and will stay there for the rest of the week. I am really excited about that because it was really fun roaming around. Great eateries, great gift shops, cheap fashion stores similar to Charlotte Ruse, and street musicians too. My favorite was the 2 guys who played music while standing on these little posts about 3 feet high. One had a banjo, the other an acoustic guitar, and they played a song I'm guessing they wrote, called "I'll kill a puppy every day until you go out with me." It was hilarious!!!

This morning we took an outing to the Cliffs of Moher, but it was raining the whole time so it was hard to see much of the coast at all. It was still cool, but would have been amazing if it had been a clear day. I had a flying dream once, back when I was in high school or before that, where I was soaring over green topped cliffs that dove straight into the rolling waves of the ocean. I'm sure that is what these cliffs would have looked like if it had been a sunny day, so no worries, I've already seen them in my dreams. =)
