Have breakfast at the hostel which like most hostels isnt much but was definitely more than the place in Dublin. I wonder if this is a result of covid health measures or just standard practice here. Take my hiking pants to a local seamstress to get holes fixed, then head back to the hostel to do some yoga sessions. Work up a sweat so take another shower then go check out the inside of the cathedral and continue on the way to check out the university grounds right there. As I walk back towards town I stop and get a juice from a lil shop on the border of the university.
 |
| Some street art to enjoy |
 |
| Crinkly wanted to go inside so here we go |
 |
| Beautiful inside but there was a mass of some sorts happening so couldnt stay long or walk around |
 |
| Crinkly found another entrance so might as well check it out |
 |
| Nicer vantage point |
 |
| Tis an impressively huge church |
 |
| Made it onto University campus... Crinkly is going back to school |
 |
| Its weird that the vines are concentrated as such. |
 |
| Crinkly found another mural |
 |
| Crinkly finding a church at the end of this cool lil alley |
 |
| The alley in question |
 |
| Some more awesome art |
 |
| Just gives you all the warm fuzzies huh? |
 |
| Crinkly found it, we are in the Latin quarter |
 |
| One of the walking streets of the quarter |
 |
| Turns out this pub here is a representative for the Galway Bay brewing company so I tried some of the beers. |
 |
| Crinkly hanging out with a friend |
 |
| Crinkly feeling at home at this new location |
 |
| A bolder friend of Crinkly, also from Ireland. This place had a great selection and looked like their food would have been pretty tasty too. |
 |
| Such a beautiful country |
 |
| Looking back on the dam in the river |
 |
| Some of the art by the guys I met in their studio... I dont care for tattoos but these were awesome and their canvas work was also pretty amazing. Definitely look into them if you are near |
 |
| These are the guys. Was great talking with them during their open house. |
 |
| Old church thatll be hosting a rave tonight |
 |
| Our tour guide taking us around Galway |
 |
| Nearing the end of the tour. This lady doesnt like my pictures :) |
 |
| One of the old timey boats from the region. |
 |
| Those are some beautiful sails. I also apparently didnt keep any of the videos I took of the performance here unfortunately. |
 |
| Some dusk reflection pics |
 |
| I was loving the view with the moon shining in the background but hard to capture. |
 |
| Moon!! |
 |
| Was awesome just sitting there listening to nice music, letting the sky get darker and watch the transition of the moon with the sails there. Probably too many pics but I like them so deal with it :) |
 |
| Church rave |
 |
| Found a pub open after all was said and done to grab a beer from and watch a lil of the game that was on (its nice being in normal time zones with soccer games) |
A little example of the music/light show at the church
Little impromptu concert in the square with some dancing
Juice in hand, walk down to the tailor to get my pants then walk around before grabbing a craft beer from dew drop. Tonight is the annual Culture night where everywhere in Ireland has local artists displaying their skills for the community. Near Dew drop, there is art in the windows but it is blocked by the tables which I am wondering whats the point if people cant see it? After that I head over to bierhaus for some other local craft beers which was a pretty cool place. Time to keep moving so I go down the road to a tattoo studio that is participating in the culture night as well and they do some amazing art and the guys themselves are really fucking cool so I sat there and talked to them for like 20 minutes. Then head over to the gourmet offensive for an amazing veggie dinner before meeting a tour guide for a historical walking tour about the artists of the city and the impact they had on the city. After the tour ends, head to the concert at the pier where their historical boats are housed which is pretty to see and with the beautiful music is awesome. The last event for the night I was planning on seeing was the light show at the church behind tigh coli which for me was a bit disappointing. I was walking around and came across some random music and dancing in the Eyre Square which was pretty cool. Have a pint at 13 on the green while watching a game and then head back to the place for bed.
