Hello from Galway
Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 04:32PM
I'm spending my first night in Galway and I can't sleep. I didn't have any problems the first night (in Dublin) because I had gotten exactly zero hours of sleep in the last 40+ hours. And last night I had quite a few Bulmers apple ciders so I slept like a dream. But tonight the jet lag is setting in. We decided to take it easy tonight, and I was in bed by 11pm. It's now 1am and I'm wide awake. What's nice though is the computers at the hostel are deserted at this time. Free reign of the free internet! I was hoping the Giraffe would be online to chat with, but no such luck.
God, I'm in fucking Ireland and I start out my post with a bunch of complaining. Annoying. So here's the real story: I'm having an amazing time. I'm only half way through the first of two weeks and it's been quite an experience. Really good memories from Dublin, and Galway is such a cool city. I could walk these streets for weeks and not get bored.
Last night we hung out with two Dubliners and three people from Switzerland. And we're sure to meet more interesting people since we're staying in hostels from now on. I love that part of traveling - meeting people I'd probably never meet at home.
I wish I had more to say, but I don't feel like I can do it justice right now. Hopefully I'll write more from Ireland, but definitely more when I get home. Hope you're all doing well!

While I'm sad that there aren't any wild and crazy stories yet, I do empathize with your inadequacy to properly document your trip. I have journal entries about the pen I was using at the time and several describing outfits, but my wedding is missing entirely. Some events are just too monumental to properly capture!
However, if I don't hear at least one story about stumbling down the streets and befriending hobos I'm going to be sorely disappointed.
So glad you are having a good time. Can't wait to hear about the trip and see some pics.
