and I lost my heart to a Galway girl..

Oh yea! I have a blog.

So, Ireland was like a month ago, but I'm still gonna quick hash out some events so I can not ever forget them. Where did I leave off? Ah yes, we had just settled down in Stranraer for the night.

Day 6

We get up to go to the ferry back to Ireland, and we miss it. Yes, it didn't leave until 9am. Yes, we were just blocks from the docks. Whatever, it's vacation =)

But, we get on the next one and just arrive in Belfast a few hours later than expected. We go to a mall and shop for a few hours.. lovely.

So it is about 6pm and we have no place to stay for the night.. so we drive all night down the west coast all the way to Galway (clear across the country)
and stayed at Jaim's. (hooray for not spending money!) Me and Jaime shared her twin bed. It reminded me of summer =)
Day 7



We drove over to Rossaveel and took a boat to the Aran Island of Inishmore. There we rented bicycles for the day and rode around the beautiful island. This was one of my favorite days--though a tad tourist-y, the island was so gorgeous, and the bikes were so much fun, and you could kind of try to stay away from the tourists by making your own route. I took half a memory card of pictures, but I'll try to just show my favorites =)






Then we returned to Galway and experienced a bit of the night life. To be honest, Galway wasn't really my style. Jaim says she loved it and never wanted to leave, so maybe you just needed to get used to it for longer. To me it seemed very crowded everywhere we went. We spent another night at Jaime's apartment.
