A Day in Town

Wolfe Tone Bridge, with Maggie (one of my apartment-mates) and Kayla
...good thing they put up the sign.

Quay Street

Quote from a BBC article about Galway: "In the summer. . .strolling down the main street you will see a never-ending supply of people busking on tin whistles, fiddles, accordions, guitars, bongos, didgeridoos and bodhrans; judggling knives or flaming torches, performing feats of acrobatics, riding unicycles, lying on beds of nails, or generally making performance art out of whatever they found they were carrying when they arrived on the street."  An exaggeration, I'm sure... but... not too far off the mark.  
Church of St. Nicholas (its claim to fame: supposedly Christopher Columbus prayed here on a stop in Galway before heading to America)

Farmer's market outside the church


Personally, I think Ireland doesn't get enough credit for having delicious cheese.
