Route: we flew into Dublin overnight Friday, arriving around
7am. We took the bus from the airport downtown, and then wandered
around for a bit before heading to Heuston Station to catch our train.
We saw this asymmetric cable-stayed bridge from the bus window.

We happened to arrive on Bloomsday, and a nice lady at the information
counter at the airport assured us we'd find "buzz" if we went
downtown. Not at 10am, alas.
|
We took the train across the country to Galway, then spent the
afternoon wandering around the town of Galway. We'd seen an ad for
a ceilidh, but it was rained out, so we watched the musicians play
a couple of tunes in a pub instead. We then got fish and chips and
chatted with a very talkative mother/daughter pair of Scottish
expatriates, before calling it a night.

These dudes were playing "Whiskey in the Jar" while standing on posts.

A vendor in the Galway market sold us fresh oysters for lunch, then
stood around with his friends giving us tourist advice while we ate
them.
