Yesterday, we went to the Aran Islands. The weather was fantastic, and there was no fog in sight! To get to the Aran Islands, we had to take a 45 minute ferry ride from the mainland to the biggest of the Aran Islands, and since I get seasick easily, I was thankful that Lennie Gail had Dramamine. Irish is still spoken on the islands and it was really interesting to hear it. On the island, we took a bus tour where we saw "little people houses" for the leprechauns, and went to Dun Aonghasa, which is an old fort on a cliff. Since there was no fog, we could see absolutely everything, and it definitely made up for the Cliffs of Moher.
We ate lunch at a cute thatched roof cafe where I ate the most delicious tomato soup I've ever had. After the tour, we shopped at the sweater markets and played on the beach before getting back on the ferry to go back to Galway. We went to the King's Head pub in Galway and listened to live music.
Galway was a really fun city. You could tell it was a college town instantly, and we felt at home walking the cobblestone streets.
