Thursday, September 29th: Happy Birthday Mom!!! I was completely planning on going to my 9am Fiance class today but unfortunately...I didn't make it haha. At 10:30am Mom and Scotty picked me up and we planned on spending the day in Galway seeing the town. First we found a little pub that was serving breakfast. There is only one kind of breakfast you are able to get in Ireland; two fried eggs, a ton of toast, sausage, bacon, and "pudding" which are these weird patty thing. So we sat down for our Irish breakfast which was really good but I definitely miss American breakfast since I am not the best at cooking eggs. Afterwards, we shopped around Galway looking at sweaters, scarves, souvenirs, etc...
Then, we decided to go on a boat tour of the major river that goes through Galway. We literally made the boat just in time (while parking in an illegal parking spot...oh well haha). The tour was really cool! I walk on a bridge over the river everyday to get to class...little did I know there was an ancient castle right down the river as well as the fact that the rive leads into a giant lake! It was awesome! Then we had a relaxing ride back and a nap at the hotel before a late dinner.

Dinner was in an area 10 or so minutes from Galway called Salthill. The restaurant was the sister restaurant of the one we went on the 26th when the restaurant we wanted went out of business. This restaurant, O'Grady's on the Pier, was very small but had some of the nicest people ever working there! And the food was amazing!!! Mom's fish as some of the best fish I had ever had. So good! After dinner we went back to the hotel to get some sleep before driving to Dublin the next day.
