| Galway is a
lot like most large cities in Ireland in that they're turned their old medieval sections of
town into pedestrian-only areas (usually successfully). But, Galway is the
only city that wasn't swarmed with cranes and still seemed like what you'd think old Ireland
to be like. Top Right: one of the main streets in the retail areas. Top Far

 Galway doesn't have any real must-see
attractions, but here we go, clockwise from above: 1. Galway Cathedral; 2. A statue downtown
that in theory would be great for tourist pictures, but instead
is usually occupied by a street performer of some kind (that's an Irish bagpipe she's
holding--instead of blowing into it, her left elbow is pushing air in); 3. The
Spanish Arch; 4. Lynch's Window

Left: Doug at Salthill outside Galway (Adrienne thinks
he looks better this way). Right: Adrienne in front of our hotel,
the only hotel we stayed at for more than one night (end of days 7 and 8) |
