My Irish Adventure: The Weekend - Galway, the Burren, Cliffs of Moher and Inis Mor

Dunguire Castle

It has been a whirlwind of a trip so far. This past weekend was an example.   Friday night I attended a concert at Christ Church Cathedral by the Irish Baroque Orchestra. They were wonderful.   Then got up early Sat. am for our trip to Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and the Aran Island of Inis Mor.    It was an exhausting time but the country is beautiful!   I am in the process of getting an online photo album set up. The first week is online and available at https://picasaweb.google.com/DianneKavanagh/Ireland2012?authkey=Gv1sRgCLKwqfPR3oPd_wE   The travel weekend will be forth coming but I'll include a few shots here.

The biggest issue of the weekend was a stay at a hostel in Galway which was not well communicated that we would be 6-8 per room, mixed sexes with who ever happened to be staying there.   Not what I had in mind at all, not to mention that half the stuff you have to bring with you like towels, and a lock for your suitcase.   It ended well but it was quite an experience.   Not sure it's my way of travelling at all.

Work and classes are keeping me busy as you can tell from my lack of posting.   This is a 4 day weekend for us, we have Friday off from the internships and Monday is a bank holiday. We head to Newgrange on Friday, a neolithic side older than Stonehenge. Then have the weekend free.
