Galway

    Galway was probably my favorite city in Ireland. We arrived in Galway after traveling for over 24 hours and I had no luggage because the airlines had lost it. Losing my luggage wasn't really that bad because I had hardly packed anything in the first place and it was only for one day. The only minor problem was the fact that I had worn flip flops on the plane and it was cold and windy in Ireland. Galway had the best pubs of all the places we went in my opinion. The pubs did not look like much from the outside, but once you walked in there were different levels and a bar could usually be found on each level. The pubs were much more intricate in their design than any bar I have been to before.

Our tour guides for the trip were Keith and Debbie of Discover Sligo who did an amazing job of shuttling all of us and our luggage all over Ireland. The trip would not have been the experience it was without all of their hard work.
