On to Galway!

Day 3

I took the train to Galway today, which is directly across the country from Dublin, on the Atlantic coast. It's a really neat town! I walked through the main part of downtown after dropping my stuff off at the house I'm staying in, and it's a really charming place! There are beautiful, well kept, but modest stone houses, and English manor type houses. The streets that run through the main part of town are still cobbled, and they're barely wide enough to fit a car and a narrow sidewalk. This place doesn't seem big enough to call a city, but it's too big to call a town. It's settled right by the mouth of a shallow but swift river that runs into the Atlantic, and the natural harbor and boats add further charm. It's really pretty. I can't wait to explore more tomorrow! It was already beautiful tonight in the mist and the dark, I bet tomorrow will be amazing!
