Galway Races

My friend from Melbourne Lauren and I went to the famous Galway Races for the August Long Weekend. We were meant to meet her friend she used to work with in Scotland in Galway, however her friend really lived 30 mins by bus from Galway in Tuam. Now Tuam is one heck of a Irish town. Its hilariously quaint and humble. The partying is hard and there is history of the standing and still functioning two beautiful chapels. I however wasnt drinking at all cause I was on antibiotics. Like who ever thought the last summer long wekend in Ireland I would be depriving myself of the drink. Fortunately I had a great time anyway :). We went to Galway and took in the views from the port and was attacked by the endless amount of swans nestling in the bay. We walked to the major catherdral which I have already seen on tour and devoured in some yummy seafood chowder. We mingled with locals and experienced the real Irish tradition of Supermacs at 4 in the monring. Great times and happy days. Slainte'
