I went on a University sponsored tour of Historic Galway yesterday. We had the neatest old chap, William, leading us about and telling endless stories about the history of the city and buildings and such. We ended the tour in the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas, then three of us asked him to get a cup of tea with us at The King's Head so we could hear more of his stories. Good day.
Today's pretty quiet; it's been snowing since morning. Classes start tomorrow as well. Our last roommate, Lorraine, got in last night, so we're having a dinner party tonight. Something tells me it won't be quite up to the standards of Becca and Michael creations, but I am looking forward to it. Though it means I need to venture out in the next hour or so to get ingredients.

Mural on the side of Sally Longs - a somewhat "rougher" pub that tends to host hard rock bands
St. Nicholas' Cathedral (I walk across this bridge and around the right of the cathedral on the way to campus)
Looking back across the River Corrib towards the City Centre from the other side of the bridge

Looking back towards the Dunnes Stores (the bright spot of light a little on the left) from near Menlo Park
