easter in galway!

Sat, Apr 11- Galway!
today was a fun mixture of leisure and pain. First of all, we all got to sleep in, which was lovely! I didn’t sleep well, because I woke up with severe stomach pain around 4am. Afterwards, went back to sleep, felt ok. When we finally made it into town, we had a full Irish breakfast, which no one finished. Afterwards, we wandered around town, while I was struck again with stomach pain. After a bit of nausea and vomiting, I wandered around in a bit of nausea and pain for a few hours, slowing down Karen’s greatbig planned tour of galway. I finally started feeling better after buying some pepto, and then went to a nice pub for dinner, before heading back to the hotel, and passing out.

Sun, Apr 12- Cliffs of Moher, Happy Easter!
Today was amazing. The weather was warmish and actually sunny, and we had reserved seats on a tour of the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. The Burren is a limestone wasteland, basically, and has really cool geological thingies. After that, we spent an hour on the cliffs, took some great pics, and fell asleep on the bus back. When we got back to Galway, we wandered around in search of dinner, before settling on a fun place on the river, where I had some great pizza with Serrano ham and goat cheese. Tomorrow, we’re renting a car, and heading down to the Dingle peninsula!! Hopefully I can manage to drive on the wrong side of the road, while shifting with my left hand. If there aren’t any more blogs after this, you know I didn’t manage to do it.
