Little Miss Victoria: Act cool, act cool!

I got lost Friday. Mhm, that's right. On purpose, too. Well, I wasn't exactly lost, I just went around randomly while knowing that all I had to do to find my way back was to find the river. Or so I thought. Turns out finding the river isn't enough, you have to go in the right direction, too (who knew?). But I eventually found my way back, after a long walk and a stop at a little cafe to eat some soup. I did see very nice architecture, very European.

I spent yesterday in Galway, with a new friend of mine who comes from Australia. It's a beautiful city, with multicolored houses and seafood to die for (I didn't even need to chew my salmon, it just melted in my mouth). It also has a cute little market with all kinds of goodies like lavender, and a tourist area that is full of cute little shops. Many of them sold Claddagh rings, which I want to get before I leave. It took us two hours and a half to get there and I must be honest, I slept through most of it. When I was awake, I saw a lot of cows and sheep, and even some horses, in small fields. I think I even saw a fox. They don't use fences often here, instead the fields are divided using trees and bushes. It makes a beautiful patchwork pattern when you fly over the country. Even if it was beautiful, I don't think I could live there. It's a lot more residential, so it's a nice city for families and those who have a car. Which puts an end to my Dublin-Galway dilemma. I'm relieved I reached a decision so quickly, as it's one less thing to worry about.

After all the craziness of yesterday, today will be a relaxation and organisation day. Tomorrow we are back to business.
