Alrighty so, Sunday we traveled back to Galway. Didn't do much other than get some groceries and ate at a bistro. Monday we went to the NUI Galway University where we listened to two professors give lectures that lasted over an hour and a half each. That was a little rough. After we went to a cafe and worked on some stuff for our site briefings and interviews. Then we did a little more shopping and I ate an Obama burger! Haha, it was silly, but I had to do it. And I even ate it while Obama was speaking in Dublin haha. Last night we all went out to a pub called the King's Head which was pretty fun. There were two guys playing the guitar and singing there and they played all American songs I think because of our group. It was pretty fun. Galway is really cool at night too, I guess it's known as the party city so I think we're in the right place ;)
Today we went on a bus tour through Connemara which is absolutely beautiful. I couldn't get enough of how amazing it was! First we went to a castle that was built around 1490 which was pretty cool. Then we went to a little sheep museum where we saw how they made wool yarn or whatever you want to call it. That's also where I bought my Claddagh ring that I absolutely love :) From there we went to the Kylemore Abbey which was built in the late 1800s I believe. It was so gorgeous there as well, you'll have to see my pictures! We then went on to a national park and me plus five others hiked up to one of the taller parts of this mountain and we were able to see the Aran Islands in the distance, which is where we're staying this weekend. We had to run the whole way down since our bus was going to be leaving soon but it was so much fun.
I'm sure there's a lot more but I don't have too much time right now so I thought I quick update would have to do :) I'm sure I'll post more tomorrow!
