Galway

We spent two full days in Galway.  The morning after our first night, we headed to the University of Ireland, Galway for two lectures by two local professors.  The first was on the history of The Troubles.  The second was about community development.

Lorna found the lecture on the history political violence in Ireland fascinating.  

The lectures were over by noon, which was great because it also happened to be our anniversary.

We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around Galway.  We had lunch at McSwiggen's, which is a famous restaurant and pub.  The food was great.  We wandered around trying to decide what to do before heading back to the hotel for a bath and a nap.  We headed back to town for dinner at Martine's, which we highly recommend.
