Today was sadly my last real day in Galway. Tomorrow I jump on a bus to Shannon Airport and fly out to London. Which of course is very exciting, but I'm so in love with Galway that it's hard to think about leaving. There was no time for lying around and pondering on my upcoming departure, though, as I had a ton of things to do today. Most of my to-do list involved shopping, which is always fun. I finally found my lime green "Galway: Probably the best city in Ireland" shirt, so look for that in the coming weeks. I also attempted to sell my books at a couple of local secondhand shops but was not very successful. So if anyone wants a book on the archaeology of the Burren and the Aran Islands or Irish history, let me know!
I had lunch at the ever-popular Griffin's bakery, which was fabulous both in terms of food and getting out of the rain. There were a ton of people on Shop Street today, because apparently teen sensation Jedward was in town. I felt bad for all the parents stuck waiting out in the rain. Anyway, after shopping, I headed back and attempted to pack. As I suspected, my things have multiplied like crazy, and it'll be a miracle if my bags make the 20kg limit tomorrow.
We braved the rain again and headed to Bridge Mills for dinner and then a bar called Bunch of Grapes for a pint with Murph and his wife Kathy. It was nice to be able to spend some time with him outside of the university. It was good craic. The night ended with a trip to Tig Coili for Bailey's coffee and some Irish music. All in all, a very wonderful last day in Ireland. I'll be sad to say goodbye tomorrow.
