So we headed to Galway the 3rd largest City in Ireland. We drove along the coast line around the bay & up into Galway. It was a scenic drive but with all the rain, we didn't stop along the way. We went into the town center & walked down through the pedestrian area in the pouring rain. In and out of the little shops along the path to the Spanish Arches on the inlet from the ocean. We headed back & stopped for hot chocolate/coffee to warm up.
Spanish Arches - part of the ancient city wall of Galway.
Looking out over the river inlet through the pouring rain.
Yesenia's giant ice cream cone! Actually this is pretty good soft serve ice cream. It is in many of the little snack shops in the area.
Some of the musicians at Gus O'Connor's Pub. A banjo, guitar, accordion pictured here. A couple of flute players were also in the mix as well as some singing & dancing.
This man has a beautiful voice & sounded wonderful singing a song of Ireland. His son, sitting at the bar stopped to ask me where I was from & asked about his dad's singing. When I said he has a wonderful voice, he informed me that he didn't thinks so when he was a kid & he was telling it was morning & he had to get out of bed!
Antonio & Yesenia outside the pub. We ate dinner here again. It was a fun musical night as it was Sunday so the music starts early...
Hope Yesenia sleeps OK - she has a bad belly ache tonight. Maybe too many chips. We have the PICOT though.... (favorite Mexican remedy)
Slainte - Rita
