So much in so little time

Greetings from Galway! We just finished cooking dinner, a vegetable and turkey breast filet stir fry, at our new hostel, Wood Quay.  Since our last post we stayed in the Lough Rynn Castle in Mohill, which was my graduation gift from Koby.  It was absolutely beautiful! We had "proper tea", strolled through their Walled Gardens, and roamed around the castle property quite a bit.  We also took advantage of the private bathroom to do a little laundry. Although, we didn't take into account that there isn't really a breeze here, nor is there much sun, so our clothes weren't even dry the day after we washed them, sooo we had to spend a few hours drying them individually with the hair dryer provided, which was quite comical! Staying in a castle was definitely one for the books.

I don't really have much to say, except that I am having a fantastic time! I really love Ireland, it's ridiculously beautiful and green, which is a lot different then everything I'm really used to. I also did not realize that Ireland is tiny, well not tiny, but small. Its super easy to get from one side to the other, nor does it take long. Kelli and I have spent time in Dublin at a busy hostel, Carrick-on-Shannon at a small, more homey hostel, Mohill in a huge Castle and now we are in Galway at a smaller hostel, which is also supposed to be "the place to go." We'll see how that holds up!

Here are some pictures to give you an idea.
