Yesterday in Galway started off a little rocky. I scheduled a tour, but they never showed up to pick me up, leaving me waiting for an hour. Once that was clearly not going to happen, I went into the city center. But, I got caught in the pouring rain. I had an umbrella, but it did little to protect against the side winds. However, I did accomplish one goal which was visiting the Claddagh village and purchasing an authentic Claddagh ring. I just love the symbolism of them.
In hindsight I think that the tour falling through was a blessing in disguise. Traveling to four countries in under two weeks was starting to take a toll on me. I was EXHAUSTED yesterday. (side note: sorry to anyone who talked to me yesterday, as I was particularly cranky. Especially you Mom and Dad. Love you!!) But, I had a pretty easy day yesterday. I even took a nap, and I got some much-needed sleep last night. So, I'm feeling refreshed this morning, and ready to start the final chapter of my trip. I'm now on to Limerick today to meet up with my second tour group. I am so excited to meet everyone and to see more of Ireland.
