Galway

1.  Black pudding and tomatoes for breakfast:  thumbs down on the first!
2. Full Irish Breakfast includes black and white pudding:  white being vegetarian.
3.  Galway shopping mall that preserved the city walls within its setting
4.  The hooker ships were Irish fishing ships and are memorialized in this sculpture and in a local beer name.
5.  Stained glass window in St. Nicholas Church, Church of Ireland.
6.  Entrance to the church
7. One of many gorgeous icons within the church.  This church was huge:  added onto by dueling families several times trying to "keep up with the Jones"
8. Pam and M sitting at a bench sculpture.  Pam is from Florida and on the tour with us.
9. Tis Coili Pub:  out for an evening of traditional Irish music
10. Pat met this fella because someone heard us say we were from Wis. and he has a girlfriend in Jefferson and he brought us over to sit front and center by the musicians.
11.  Enjoying the music:  nice young brother and sister and one other girl.
12.  Pat met MORE Cullens!  Originally from Indiana and now from the northwest.
13.  Galway harbor at night
