Day 2 update: absolutely beautiful day… blue skies.  Walked all over.

Procured a beautiful wool blanket that’s on it’s way to Boston as we speak (leave it to Suz to over pack AND buy the largest souvenir I could find!), 2 scarves, a souvenir for “mum” and some Irish candy.  I had the largest baked potato I’ve ever seen for lunch (seriously, that spud was on steroids), watched the sunset on Galway Bay while listening to an Irishman play “Galway Bay” (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD73lxnaPCE) on his guitar (pretty fitting, right?), and for good measure I even went for a run in an effort to tire me out and get on Irish time (pause for reaction)…  still not on Irish time.   

Getting used to hearing words like “lad,” “cheers” and “champion.”

…..and yes, I’ve managed to pick up a wee Irish accent.

Off to Connemara & Doolin today!!
