On the Streets of Galway

Wednesday, September 11, 2013

We enjoyed a non-travel day, which amounted to strolling the neighborhoods near our hotel. Galway is a charming town for shopping, with a medieval “Latin Quarter” with many of the buildings dating to the 1500s. Chrissi found a Royal Tara cup and saucer at a second-hand store, but mostly we just people watched and soaked in the ambiance. We stopped at The Quays pub for fresh oysters and a pint, browsed the little stores along the narrow streets and visited a couple tea shops during the afternoon. It was off to the King’s Head Pub tonight to watch Irish dancers.
