I am writing to you from my third apartment, in the center of Galway city. Let's just say, moving was a great decision. I like this city a lot more than Dublin; it's less crowded, it's cleaner, less dusty, closer to the ocean and the people are nicer. Everything is less hurried than in Dublin. Another thing that I like is how small it is. Everyone told me that I would get bored because it's small, but not me. Since the city isn't that big, it means that living in the center of the city allows me to have everything nearby. They also have a market every Saturday where I get most of my groceries.
I have met some interesting people in my few weeks here, and so I have had a few interesting talks. I also found out they have an archery club in town with beginner classes, for which I am on the waiting list. Ah, the joys of shooting stuff. Speaking of socializing, the guys at work have made it their mission to teach me the Irish ways. And so, last Sunday, I had my first true hangover, meaning I stayed in bed all day feeling nauseated. Let's just say I was close to swearing off alcohol forever that day. But moving on.
I have finally found a salon that will do my crazy hair colors, and it happens to be next door to where I work, which means I will finally be able to dye my hair to the color I wanted in June without having to go to Dublin for it. Oh how things work out.
But enough chit chat, I was cleaning through my cellphone and now have new pictures to show:
First off, my new haircut! (Ok, it was like two months ago, but the point still holds)
Nice little street name with the address 0
My very first Guinness, which made me tipsy, but I finished the whole pint!
Found this genius little graffiti on a bridge
I went wondering around Dublin (and to be honest I really remember where that was) and found this on the street
A picture of what Grafton Street looked like back in the day
The Oyster Festival Parade in Galway
Take that, you English people you!
