I am sorry I haven't posted in a while. I do not have an ethernet cable and as such do not have regular access to the internet. I am borrowing my roommate's cable at the moment. I also haven't posted because not much has happened. Orientation was on Wednesday but classes don't actually start for another week. I have been shopping a lot, finding things to fill our apartment to make it a home for three months. I have been exploring Galway as well, below are a few pictures I took when Norah, Sammy and I went down to the bay area, about a five minute walk from our apartment. But I have also been taking a lot of walks on my own. I try to get out everyday and walk in a new direction for an hour. Its help me fall in love with Galway. I promise to bring my camera with me on another walk soon, but today it was overcast. I have to admit the city acquires a certain beauty on the overcast days, being a city built to withstand rain and wind but it doesn't quite translate in pictures. We went out again last night to a great pub on Shop Street, the main street of town similar to State Street in Madison. The Kings Head was featuring a great cover band Milhouse and we stayed until they kicked us out a little before three. I have been drinking a lot of Smithwicks, and have had one Guinness. We are all taking the evening off tonight and staying in, but we are headed back out tomorrow night.
The city is built around a series of canals and they all feature these lifebuoys along side of them. I believe LaCrosse should think of investing a few.
Here is a postcard view of Galway, often an image that will come up when you google Galway. These houses are just beyond the Spanish Arch, I walked by there today, they are very lovely.
Here is a view of the bay, you can see some of the mountains in the background.
More of the mountains and the bay.
Even more of the bay.
After we were done with the bay we walked to an Off Licence store which is a liquor store and I made my first ever liquor store purchase (in any part of the globe). I bought us a bottle of wine and some hard cyder. On the left is Norah my roommate and on the right is Sammy my neighbor, I felt we all looked so grown up sipping cyder and waiting for our dinner to be ready.
Cheers!
