OFF TO GALWAY!
We were Galway bound via train this morning! Patte and Mike got settled in for the two hour ride! And so did John and I! We had reserved seats, with our names in bright shiny lights! (No one was taking our seats, by golly!) We picked up some very non-Irish sandwiches to eat for lunch along the way! And we sat back and relaxed the rest of the journey! Once in Galway, we checked into our “quaint” BandB! There was a pub and a dining room in it, where we can all enjoy complimentary breakfast each morning. (In the dining room, NOT the pub, of course!)

Our tour guide, Sean, was a proud Irishman, gave us lots of information on Irish history and on Galway itself!
