Taffe's Pub in Galway

Just got bak from the pub with Phyllis and Madeline - the pub was called Taffe's - they had live music, and because we went early, we had excellent comfy seats right next to the band. Met a really nice couple from Kinvara by the name of John and Geraldine. Geraldine had quite an accent, very regional. We had a lot of laughs and took a few pictures. I just hope that by the time I get my pix developed, I;ll remember what they are of. I took one in Lync Castle today in front of the fireplace as well as one in front of the doorway in Eyre Square.

New bunkmates tonight - one called Marco from Milan, Italy and two gals from Maryland (origninally from Africa).

Managed to finally get a chance to talk to Amber tonight as well as Kimm and Mom. I don't feel as lonesome anymore.

We're off on a tour of Connemara tomorrow, and on Thursday, Madeline and I are off to the Aran Islands for a few nights. We have to remember to book a hostel there for Thursday and Friday nights. I may even decide to stay an extra night or two if I really like it. After that I think I might go down to Dingle and then Cork, before heading back towards Limerick to prepare for heading back home again.

Ti,me to get ready for bed now as we have an early rise for our tour.
