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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Naturally, there are photos of Galway<\/a> on Flickr.<\/p>\n We’re going back next month, to see the sights with Anita’s mom. I’m looking forward to it very much. Connemara<\/a> was my favorite part<\/a> of our trip to Ireland last year. And, we’ll get to take another shot<\/a> at the Cliffs of Moher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We visited Galway last year, because our friends Chris and Katie are working for the Big A there.
