Chill at the place for a little bit before its time to walk to the stop in town. Once I get there, it starts sprinkling a little bit and the only cover is a tiny tree so I put my bags under it and wait for the bus which is late. Finally gets there, but there is no wifi. Head down to Galway, which once it gets in to town, the rain stops which is nice. Walk to the hostel (savoy) to drop my bags off in my room then head out to go walking.

See the Cathedral and check out the west side of town before wandering into the Galway city history museum which seemed interesting but was only open for 30 mins or so once I got there so had to go. Then had some delicious dinner from Pasta house nearby the hostel before heading to Tigh Coli for some trad music (what they abbreviate their local traditional music to) which that is the place to be based on talking to people and reviews online. Had to sit near the stairs until a spot opened up closer to the stage (pays to get there early and be a solo traveler). This group didnt do any vocals which is fine as the music was still amazing but vocals def add another level of beauty and complexity to the songs. While there met a couple locals who were all amazing and friendly; one dude was a plumber who spent some time in the states and was just an amazing dude, the others were an older group of ladies from the area and just wanted a place to have a couple drinks so let them sit and we chatted for a bit. I will say it again at some point but I absolutely love the friendliness and nature of the irish people; there are fantastic people everywhere but these mofos just take it up like 10 notches. After the music is over, I close out and head back to the hostel for shower and bed.
