Galway, Ireland

Lill and I took the train from Dublin to Galway on the far west coast of Ireland. We had an "oh-dark-30" start to the day.





The train stopped in about 9 communities across the Island.
At the Athlone station, an old character hopped on and, though there were a lot of empty seats, he chose the Canuks and he kept us entertained for the rest of the ride.


He was quite a character.


So too was this guy!! He played the fiddle while Obama played and the new President of Ireland accompanied. Once I get the youtube channel going, I will forward a link of the performer in action! Quite a character

Galway is a really beautiful old city.



The "Spanish Gate" in Galway


Very active outdoor market.


Surprisingly, Lill found the potters right away. ESP???



Lunch along the Atlantic coast. Picked up fresh, local produce from the market. Doesn't get much fresher. Neither does the wind!

Galway is a medieval town and that is apparent in the local architecture, and statues. Some examples:









Great town!
