Canadians In Galway

Arrived here in Galway at about 12:30pm; on the way to the hostel I met another Canadian gal, from New Brunswick - Phyllis and we ended up here in a room together with at least 3 other American gals. Apparently there are a couple of Portuguese fellows, but I think only one is in our room. Another guy was here a while ago, and he was Irish.

Phyllis and I checked in at the same time and then went across the street to a pub for a couple of pints. Two pints did it for me! We then came back to the hostel where our room was finally ready and began to rummage through our packs and meet our bunkmates.

Finally it feels like it's a fun vacation and not a guilt filled trip. See how long that lasts. A whole lot noisier here on this street as it is all shops and pubs on this cobblestone street we're on. Lots of color and culture out here, much better than Limerick. I think I'll take a walk down to the Internet Cafe round the corner, and see if anyone has replied to me and send off a note about where I am now.
