Off to the Aran Islands!

Alrighty, so Wednesday was a free day.  I was supposed to interview that photography guy for our big project for the class but he never texted back, showed up, or called back.  I did get a text back yesterday from him saying he's sorry he missed it.  But I'm just going to interview a bigger company when we're in Cork next week.  I went with my friend Jenifer to her interview with the Druid theater which was really interesting.  Cillian Murphy (who is in Inception and other movies) was in a play there so I thought that was pretty neat haha.  Other than that we all just hung out and eventually went out to the pubs and what not.
Yesterday we went to the Galway Chamber of Commerce which was pretty interesting.  We got to see what they do with all these different businesses (500+) and everything.  After that we had a little free time and then we went off to a little "village" that this couple kind of built on their own.  After they retired they had wanted to recreate kind of what Ireland used to be and they did that by showing us how to make these crosses and I can't remember what they're called but you put them over your doorway haha.  Then we learned out the houses and how to make soda bread and then ate some salty seaweed.  After that we had a music lesson and a guy played an acordian, penny flute and then kinda sang as well.  Then a few of us volunteered to do an Irish dance that we all sucked at but it was all a lot of fun and really interesting to see/learn about.  When we got back from that we went to a restaurant called Couch Potato which was pretty good, just different variations of baked potatoes.  Then we went to see the Hangover 2 which was....meh, alright haha.  After that we proceeded out to the pubs and clubs once more which wasn't too bad. 
Today we're going to the Galway clinic and then we have some time to roam around.  A few of us are going to do a minnow foot spa-thing.  For 10 euros you get to soak your feet for 15 minutes in a little pool of minnows that eat the dead skin off your feet.  I guess it's relaxing and makes your feet feel really soft, so I'm excited for that.  At five we take a ferry to the Aran Islands for the weekend which should be absolutely gorgeous.  I can't wait!
