We decided to take a ride out to Galway. The day was beautiful and so was the ride. We arrived in Eyre square, think Boston Common only about half the size. Being the courageous culinary connoisseurs that we are, we settled on Supermacs for our repast (just like McDonald's only not as healthy).
Just as we were getting ready to explore this beautiful city, you guessed it, the skies opened up. Good thing there was a bookstore nearby. After a mere twenty minutes of torrential downpours we saw the sites. Galway reminded us of the old city in Quebec. Lots of outdoor cafes, shops and surprise... PUBS!! The remnants of the old city wall are preserved within a two story mall. A perfect co mingling of the old and new. The arch in the picture is called the Spanish Arch and I'm sure there is some historical significance there but I can't for the life of me recall what it is. Suffice it to say that its really old and cool looking. (Can you tell we are really getting the most out of our time in Ireland?)
Emma purchased her 942nd stuffed animal. Because you always need one more. Ian bought a book and Lori finally bought a coat rack. I say finally because you wear a coat here EVERY DAY!!

So are those stuffed animals going to have their own airfare whenver they come home?? Did she get that cute "stuffed animal carrier" with the animal...or is that one she already had...being a stuffed animal lover? :0)
