Like I said it was an hours drives to Galway. One the way there I kept nodding off. I was still very much tired from flying in the day before and being on a different time schedule. David was doing a bit better than I was though. He adjusted pretty well and once we got going he was ready to go for the day. We were advised to take the scenic route to Galway. It was not the fastest, but it was more enjoyable. We drove by the Cliffs of Moher. Gorgeous cliffs that drop straight done into the ocean. I was not feeling up for walking around so David parked and walked around taking photos. We tried to plan a day to go back and get more pictures, but it was so rainy many of the days we never made it back out there to get pictures. No to mention we had so much other stuff thagt we waanted to do and see. It was a pleasant drive just being able to seee the country side and enjoying all the sights that Ireland has to offer. We stopped by a local resturant on the way to Galway. David ordered the Irish breakfast and I had the BLTE. (BLT with egg.) We ordered hot \u00a0to tea to drink and again it came out with the bowls of sugar and cream. It was a nice quite place called Collins. We got there right after a tour bus finished up and we were leaving just as another tour bus pulled in. We thought we had pretty good timing. \ud83d\ude42 Hehe. It is hard to really describe what it looked like. A picture is worth a 1,000 words and it would take a photo to really do the place justice. The highest in temptature it gets in the mid summer is upper 60&#8217;s maybe up to 70&#8217;s. So by Sept. it was cool and brisk. It was nice to get out every so often and just walk around. We did stop by a pier and tke some photos. The pier looked over a large lake and you could see the mountains on the other side. It was gorgeous. We get to Galway late afternoon. We checked into our B&amp;B Woodhaven. It looked like a cozy home. It was fun figuring out which one was ours. We realied it was very common to see 5\/6 bed and breakfasts places right in a row. David and I commented on that the entire way to Galway. We would say things like&#8230; &#8220;B&amp;B, b&amp;b, B&amp;b, b&amp;b,&#8230; OH LOOK! Another b&amp;b right in a row. \ud83d\ude42 Ours was no differt. The woodhaven sign was more located towards one of the other B&amp;Bs and David and I had to look carefully at the signs. We checked into our room. It was a bueatiful room. (We forgot to get photos.:( ) It had a full size bed and a twin bed in it. The sheet and comforter were white, with a soft purple blanket on the edge of the bed. The walls were half wood and had some wall paper on them. They were a deep plum color with black designs on it. There was also three white frames with purple flower decorations in them. There was a small closet and shelf set with a tea pot and tea set on it. The main light was a small chandalier style with silver dangling circle decorations and crytals from it. There was also two wall lamps that were white with purple decotations designs on them. A very cozy little room. The bath room was very smal. That wasn&#8217;t a big deal. But it was interesting. The Irish heat the water at the source and do not have water heaters. So there is this old style heater sitting off by the sink. While the shower is going it gets very hot so you have to be very careful not to touch it at all. The shower was quite interesting. It was a small 3X3 foot square area. The two walls facing out from the shower were sliding doors. So you had to make sure both doors were slide all the way shut or you got water all over the floor. ( I did that once. -_- ) There was two nobs in the shower. One was tempature and the other was the pressure\/ On nob. You turned from off, to full pressure spray. There was also a strong that hung from the cieling. You pulled on it and the box clicked from On to Off. You also had to be very careful to watch the water level. It filled quickly and drained slowly. So after being in the shower just \u00a0few minutes it would be filled to the rim and flow over the edge of the shower floor onto the bathroom floor. (Did that one once too. -_- I learned things the hard way over there. It was very frustrating.) \u00a0That night we ate at McSwiggins resturant. It was on the 3rd floor of a building downtown. It had a great view of downtown Galway. We spent quite a bit through out the week at downtown Galway doing shopping. Galway was not as Americanized as Dublin so we enjoyed the local flavor much more. (More on Dublin later.) So there we go. That was our Wednesday. The note about the next day will monstrous because of the show we went to Thursday night! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-104\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/megananddavidalexander.com\/?p=104&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-104\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/megananddavidalexander.com\/?p=104&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/megananddavidalexander.com\/?p=104&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-104\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/megananddavidalexander.com\/?p=104&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day Two&#8230;I left off with us leaving Dromoland Castle.
