The Road to Galway

We started somewhat early today and headed up to Galway to start are sojourn in the West of Ireland - a beautiful drive and much relaxation to be savored by all.

We identified a pressing need the night before and had to stop to Purchase a new camera card - our two 1Gb cards were both full and so was the laptop - this after we´ve been uploading photos to our home network to free space - but that is very slow going. So we stopped first to pick up a new card an got a good deal on a new 2Gb 80x card that is exactly what the business needed anyway.

As we drove across the country it was fun to watch the landscape change and keep a running commentary on the Current "Cow Status" as it seemed that the local Cows were either all standing or sleeping at roughly the same time in a rotating cycle (it was a four hour drive and perhaps we were reaching - Kellei has a lot of cow photos)

Gerry had arranged for the loan of a friend´s house in Galway and it was a great place to Stay - a townhouse in a quiet neighborhood atop a store and near a pub. On arrival into Galway as lame as this may sound all of us just crashed into bed for a good 3 hour nap - I think all the excitement had finally hit us and we all needed a break. We followed that up with a dinner at the pub (About 50´ away) and then retired Back to the house for a movie and more sleep - not our most exciting day - but it felt wonderful!
