First thoughts

Hello Folks,
This is my fifth day now in Galway, Ireland. After getting used to the time diifferential (five hours) and the not-driving-the-same-way-we-do, these are my first impression of Galway.

First of all, some info on the city: Galway as a population of 75,000 so I can short of compare it with St-Jean. The city is amazing and one thing I realized quickly in my short stint in Dublin and my time in Galway, is that the irish are very at blending old building/architetures with very new and innovative buildings. History and creative seems to blend so well.

Of course, the weather is a what you think of Ireland. Overcast, 12 to 19 degres  with episode of rain and sun coming out from time to time.

So, going back to Galway, this week-end there was a big festival in town for the Volvo 2012 boat race. My host family and I went twice over the week-end and it was pretty cool. Over the summer, there is a succession of festival in Galway so I haven't yet see what the town looks like on a 'normal' day yet. Everywhere it was pretty crowded and everything.

I took some pictures of Galway Bay and I really wanted to take pictures of the festival, but I didn't have my phone or my camera *herp derp moment*

That's all from me for now, look foward for more time in the ciry, as I get settled in, I'll take more time to go around and get pictures.

Feel free to comment :)
