Moher? I hardly even know her!

Galway was the perfect place to start my trip yesterday. Friendly people, a small but bustling city center, a great nightlife.

I arrived in town at 8:30 am, dropped my bags at the hostel, and treated myself to a traditional Irish breakfast. Yowsa.




Yesterday I beat back jet lag with a six mile walk to Salthill, a sleepy seaside resort neighborhood.




Along with me came hostelers Marcus and Leigh.





My evening started with a quiet pint by myself. Before the night was through, I was hopping from bar to club with an entourage of eight Americans, Australians, Germans, Canadians, and yes, one real live Irish person.




But the highlight of my day, by far, was when Marcus joined me in a photo at my favorite Galway landmark...
