The Market (for real this time)

The King's Head Artwork

Saturday, September 17th: Today we woke up and decided to go to the market. The market here happens every Saturday and Sunday as long as the weather isn't too bad. When we got there is was much, much more packed than the week before where there were only three booths. This time there were at least 20 maybe more. As we started walking through the tents, there was jewelry, hats, delicious food, random crafts, etc... I hadn't eaten yet so I decided to first find some food before I got caught up in things I might like to buy. There were a lot of pastries, a crepe stand with an extremely long line, and a lot of bread and cheese vendors. However, I settled on a freshly baked asiago cheese bagel. It was sooooo good! Then we continued to shop around. Elizabeth bought a ton of fresh veggies and Emily bought some anchovies and cheese. Then, we found a man who was selling framed prints of different Galway artwork. I found one of my first pub in Galway and the same pub we go to for lunches, dinners, and almost any time we go out called the King's Head. Also, my uncle Mac's 70th birthday is coming up and I won't be able to be there for it but I found an awesome gift that my parents will be able to take to him. I won't describe it on here in case he reads this but it has to do with wine so....Mac has to love it!

Later, after the market we had a bit of a lazy Saturday before Elizabeth and I decided to go to a movie. The movie was called Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy. She had heard about it before and it was only being released in the UK so we decided to go. This movie ended up being the most confusing two hours of my life. First, it was about the Cold War; something I know nothing about. Second, all the actors were old men, except two younger guys which looked exactly the same; so I could not figure out who was who and I couldn't keep track of what was going on. Third, there was a lot of dialog which was a major part of the story and between the fact that I was eating popcorn and that I was tired and that they had accents....I missed a lot. Haha, regardless it was entertaining but afterwards Elizabeth and I tried to figure out what the hell was going on as we walked back to the apartment.
