I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend :) Sam and I went to Galway with ISS (International Student Society) and had quite an adventure. We started with a walking tour of Galway City and saw the Cathedral of Galway, had a nice walk downtown, and hung out with our friends for the afternoon. After dinner we went to a really fun bar that had fun live music. Upstairs was a place called the Stock Exchange which sold drinks at prices based on how popular they were and every once in awhile the Stock Market would crash and everything would go back to base prices. We all thought it was really cool!
Shortest, fastest river in Ireland

On Saturday, we went to the Cliffs of Moher. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and it was so foggy that we couldn't see the first cliff right in front of us let alone the entire chain. Sam and I have decided that we are just going to have to go back because we really wanted to see them!
Sam and I excited to be at the Cliffs of Moher!
Not excited that we can't actually see them...
This is the best picture I got haha
After that, we got on a little ferry boat and went out to the Aran Islands. It was really wet and cold but we made the most of it but going on an adventure down the beach and climbing the rocks there.
Lynda, Emily, Sam, Elliott, and Arun adventuring on the beach :)

This morning, of course it was gorgeous; sunny and not a cloud in sight. We drove to Bunratty castle and took some pictures and then continued to Limerick City. We spent the afternoon there, saw a castle, and then went to a pub in Moneygall, the ancestral home of Barack Obama. It was a kind of weird town that was full of American flags and pictures of Obama. Then we made our way back home and we plan to spend our day tomorrow catching up on laundry, cleaning, and homework.

Hope everyone is doing well!
Miss you all,
