Our long walk is done. Time for a casual exploration of Ireland’s cities and sites before heading back to Canada.
We start with Galway, a half-day by taxi and bus up the west coast from Portmagee, the end point of our cross-Ireland walk.
It’s a modest-sized town but chock full of young university students and tourists. Everyone’s out of their homes and offices right now, soaking in an unusual spurt of sun and warmth. Streets and bars are mobbed, frenetic. Parks and beaches are littered with the blanched flesh of sun-starved locals. Strollers glide up and down the Seaport Promenade. We merge with the slow parade.
Our walks in Galway take on a satisfying lack of purpose, a good start to our urban observations.
Great pictures of Galway! The street musicians pic is a masterpiece.
