Just returned from an amazing night of "pub crawling". The day began with our first classes, to which we all walked grudgingly at 9am. After this, we took a 2 1/2 hour bus ride up a one way road to the Cliffs of Mohr. Our tour guide spoke the entirety of the way in an Irish monotone that along with the rocking bus, put us all straight to sleep. Saw castle from the 1400's that now serves as a banquet hall, which is just surreal. Kept claiming it was so good to be home. Travelers from all over was there, which was an amazing way to connect with people all over the world. We worked so hard to walk up the mountain, so being up top was quite the feat. As usual, we were the loudest out there as we continue to find that Americans are much higher in volume than every other group of people.
After winding roads, steep cliffs and castles, we headed home and took a huge group out to dinner. We had wine and margherita pizza and sang a glorious rendition of "Happy Birthday" to the middle-aged woman behind us. Then, we sought out to celebrate our last night in Galway Irish style. We headed out to the bars and took up the entire floor with our American dancing and debauchery. Too much fun. Then we headed to their version of McDonalds: Supermac. Perfect for an evening out! Tomorrow we head into Dublin to amp up our intake of Irish culture and tendency to make trouble.
The Irish people are unbelievable. So kind and so helpful, quick to speak to you and tell you how much they adore their country and our own. Funny little notes about the culture: restrooms are toilets, exits are ways out and their form of ketchup is brown sauce. A lot of little things to pick up on!
Love you all, keep ya posted in Dublin xxx
