We visited Galway last year, because our friends Chris and Katie are working for the Big A there. We took a long weekend (half-day Friday) to visit this year. It was the perfect opportunity to talk with good friends and fellow Americans-in-Ireland.
And it was the perfect time to see them. By the time we got on the train to come home, Anita and I realized that a few days away from Dublin was the medicine we needed. We got some of the annoyances with Irish customs off our chests and we told better stories about what we were discovering in Dublin. So we returned to Dublin refreshed.
Naturally, there are photos of Galway on Flickr.
We’re going back next month, to see the sights with Anita’s mom. I’m looking forward to it very much. Connemara was my favorite part of our trip to Ireland last year. And, we’ll get to take another shot at the Cliffs of Moher.

I’ve been looking at the Connemara web site and I can’t wait to visit all of it! It looks absolutely amazing. It will be the 2nd best thing about my trip–of course seeing you kids will be the best!

I love the pictures, but don’t forget to take some pictures of you and your friends! I’d like to see the front of Anita’s head more often.
