FRIDAY! (October 22, 2010)

** Note to any readers (if there are any): I've been lame and not finished the Ireland Poo Journal entries, but I'm back at it! I think, though, that I will finish them without photos, as you can see the pictures at http://s1090.photobucket.com/home/orshadow2010/index **

We stayed in town, taking a taxi to St. Patrick's Cathedral & then walked around all day. It was great! Except for the wind and rain.

We saw some lovely sights, went to a lot of shops, and got our TATTOOS! They look awesome, and had a great experience with the tattoo artists. Inkfingers in Galway was the studio, and Steve (from Australia) and Joe (from Ireland) were our artists, and it was LOVELY!

Brian and I wandered into some pubs on our list, and we heard some Irish music at a couple of them. (Brian had a Galway pub list downloaded to his iphone, along with a walking tour and historic sites!) And we also enjoyed pre (and post) tattoo Irish Coffee at Taaffe's (I think that's how it's spelled!). Yummy! Just like Grandma's -- heavy on the "wee bit"! :)

So, we did a little souvenir shopping, at some fantastic fish and chips at McDonagh's (so good!), lovely tea and scones, and more Guinness, of course :). A good day overall.

We made it back to the B&B, and figured out our bus transport to Dublin, took pictures of our tats, and sent them to the hubsters. We're pretty much packed, so we'll shower and finish packing in the morning, and leave after breakfast.

But now it's time to write some postcards and hit the hay.

G'night!
