After spending the day in with Grainne and attempting to get fresh vegetables from the farm down the road (they were closed) we caught a ride to Galway with Fionnala's friend that had come up to visit. She dropped us off in front of the St. Nicholas Church to wait for Katie. We then walked back through town to her apartment to put our bags down then head over to Tesco's (grocery store) to get some chicken for dinner. Katie made this amazing chicken curry dish for us and we couldn't have been more pleased. It was no warm water and frozen bananas, but it was pretty good.
This morning Katie woke us up bright and early at 10 so we could walk down to Church lane and she could show us the market before she had to go to work. It was just setting up as we got there so we didn't see too much. While she was working we wandered around town for hours soaking up the street life and falling in love with every other guy we saw. We also did a little bit of shopping. There is this beyond amazing store called Penney's where they have the cutest clothes for like 3 euro!! Ya we spent a lot of time there. And of course Mallory had to stop in any and every CD store we saw. After Katie got off work we took her out to dinner at this cute Italian place down Quay St. for being so awesome and letting us crash on her couch for a few days.
Towards the end of the day it started raining quite a bit, but that didn't stop us from experiencing some Galway nightlife. We borrowed some umbrellas from Katie's boyfriend Patrick and walked down to the Spanish Arches bar around 11:30. Alale, a traditional Irish band, was finishing up their set. It was pretty fun music so we both bought a copy of their CD. Our walk home was quite the fun one seeing as we hardly walked two blocks before two drunk guys had an arm around each of us. We got rid of them just in time to be hit on by some creepy 40 year old. Not to worry though, we made it home safely and read ourselves to sleep.
