This morning we made the long
3-hour drive to Galway. Galway is a
bigger city, probably 2nd biggest to Dublin. Which leads to my next statement – we got
lost for the first time in Ireland. Not
getting lost yet probably is due to my stellar navigating abilities! As I have mentioned previously, street signs
are non-existent in Ireland. So, if the
Google Maps printed direction to take the 3rd exit from the
roundabout in 2.73 km doesn’t exist…you are screwed. We stopped in a gas station to get a detailed
map of the city, and ultimately found our way to the Glenlo Abbey hotel.

We took a taxi to the city center
to stroll around. Galway has a good city
center filled with cute shops and restaurants.
Similar to Denmark, young adults were sprawled on the grass drinking
beer, on this beautiful day. Chicago
officials need to take a few tips from European countries ;-) We had dinner on an Italian restaurant
patio. Then headed to a bar recommended
to us by a previous traveler, Taffes.
Traditional Irish music started at 10p, and I had a bar stool in the
front row, obviously.
