Flannery's Bed & Breakfast Galway

we had a pretty late start today, had breakfast, packed up then hit the street. first stop was shopping, shoes, tourist t-shirts etc. then we both got haircuts, it had been a while! we walked around town for a bit, went to the oldest church in ireland still in use then walked across the river to the claddagh, an old part of the city. it was all ...

Yesterday, Ashley and I took a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher while Erin was in class-- and let me tell you-- they were amazing. We purchased tickets through Spars-- a local convenience store type thing-- and we walked to the Coach Station. Now, for future advice-- be careful at these places. Ashley and I were hoodwinked to say the least. ...

So it's our second day in Ireland and it was a very relaxed day. Ashley and I woke up at a decent hour (although it took quite a bit of prodding, poking and pushing on Ashley's part to get me off of the couch) and decided to explore the town while Erin and her roommates were in class. We walked Shop Street again and Ashley bought herself an...

after a nice self-made breakfast we drove back down the peninsular on a route determined by alana accidentally drawing the wrong line on her map! we drove through northern ireland and into county monaghan, alana's final county! we had brunch at a nice servicestation cafe and then drove straight through to dublin, avoiding the main highways. i go...

Well, it seems quite quickly I am making my way across Ireland! I love looking at the map to see where the pins show I have been...it still is surreal for me!

This weekend I had my first road trip with: Melanie (who you already know), Beth (a friend I met at Allianz Re, where I am currently working) and Pam (who was out for her birthday...

Wlasciwie to od zawsze lubilem podrozowac. Od zawsze czerpalem tez przyjemnosc jaka plynie z przebywania na lonie natury, ogladania drzew, gor, oceanow i pustyni. Nowe odglosy, widoki, smaki i zapachy zmieniaja czlowieka, poszerzaja horyzonty. Chyba kazdy sie zgodzi ze jest cos co nas ekscytuje w tym co nam obce i niezna...

Before I get into the latest blog entry, I'm pleasantly surprised to tell you that we got the photo of Stopher herding an unruly sheep on the farm. Please enjoy and know that the sheep is quite well, aside from a total lack of dignity for being wheeled to pasture. If there is such a thing as karma, I fear Stopher’s will be wooly.

I have heard a few times that Galway was the place to be...And I truly believed it..but I didnt know that the specific place to be was actually here...where my appartement is!!..In fact, when I woke up this morning, I looked at my living rooms window and noticed that there was a couple tents there...Afterwards, I went out for a walk because it w...

A "Ran Tan" is going out on the "****"/ going for "scoops"/ on the lash/ on the sauce basically meaning going out on a big drinking night! So Dave has bought some outfits for Father Ted weekend. A Pope costume ad a monk costume so last night myself Dave and his friend Christian wee sitting around had dinner and drinks and they got this brilliant...

Lunch with Katherine and Megan was enjoyable, but it lacked the magic of Tig Coili or the depth of the previous day's conversation. Then I went hunting for a room (henceforth referred to as "flat-hunting"). In Galway, this involves getting the classifieds and circling a lot of places, then phoning. Doing this made me shaky, and I couldn't figure...
