SharInGalway: dan's visit!

october 12-15: dan came to visit me over his columbus day break!!! we had such a great time and just ended up staying in galway for the duration of his visit. we were also really lucky - the weather was beautiful the whole time he was here! i met him at the airport and when we got back we went into town and i took him to the farmer's market and showed him around the shop street area. saturday night all of the holy cross kids got together and we had a big pot luck dinner, which was really great. everyone brought some kind of food and it was awesome! dinner was followed by a big party in my apartment, which was also a ton of fun, and then we went out afterwards.

we pretty much went into town every day...there's so much to see, so it's pretty hard to get sick of it. =) sunday night we went out to dinner at this cool pub/restaurant called The Quays (pronounced 'keys'). It had such a great irish-y atmosphere, and the food was also pretty decent. monday was more of the same, but on tuesday we walked down toward salthill by the galway bay and watched the sunset -- it was so beautiful and we got some great pictures. tuesday night was a lot of fun...we went to 2 of my favorite bars, hole in the wall and bar 903. there was live music at bar 903 and everyone was dancing - it was so so fun! mollie and our other friend mike who is also studying here came with us, and there were a few of our other friends who we met up with there.

then wednesday morning was the end of our visit =( i walked dan to the bus station so he could get the 10:15 bus to the airport, and then i had to go to campus for my 11 am class. back to the grind...booooooo.

**for some reason a lot of the pics won't upload, so i only have a few up for now.
