Farwell, Ireland

Alas our trip must come to an end. Yesterday we went to Galway and Ennis. Both were great cities. Galway is like the young peoples city, Allan said that 60% of the people living there are under 35. It's a cool mix of old and new, really cool city. Ennis is a smaller town but Really neat. Tiny little streets, super friendly people, lots of neat shops. We found an antique shop that was just literally top to bottom full of stuff. And we're not talking cheap stuff. I asked about a little figurine, maybe four or 5 inches tall and he said 600 Euro! Yipes. Uhm nevermind, thanks! Brendan and the owner talked about gold and stuff. We just walked around and saw stuff. This is a beautiful church in Galway. The inside has all this Connemara marble in the dome, it's gorgeous.

 This was some creepy abandoned building on the way from Galway to Ennis. It was a HUGE building, big wings on either side of this, windows broken, plants growing inside, CREEPY!

 This is the city centre in Ennis. Wish we would've gotten there earlier, lots of the shops were closed when we got there!

 And this is where we've called home all week. The upper window on the right is our bedroom. This place had two bedrooms and the couch was a bed too. Let's all come back!!

I'm so sad we're leaving. It's like 8:30am and it's the sunniest day we've had. I'm so bummed we didn't get to Cork or Donegal or Cashel. Or Northern Ireland. We've been here a week and barely scratched the surface of everything I want to see and do. I guess we'll just have to come back. :-)

Time to get going, goodbye Ireland, I love you. And I'll miss you. I hope to see you again soon.

1.5 hours to London then 11.5 hours to LAX. See you in a while!
