Galway - Day Two | Lost in Ireland

Latin Quarter

This was my last day to sleep in - so I took advantage of it. Since my hotel was right off the Latin Quarter I spent some serious time exploring on Day 2 in Galway. if only you could hear the music that starts early in the day and goes late into the night in pictures.

I even found an archeological dig right between two office buildings and they acted like it was nothing and I was impressed.

I found the most interesting shopping mall right by my hotel. What was fascinating was how they built the mall around an old city wall. I made sure to stock up on food for my next couple days at the Cliffs. I also took my last chance for some fast food.

My second Elders concert took place in a fascinating venue the Quays. The stage was in three levels so the furthest seat was no more than twenty feet away from the bands. Both bands delivered this evening and the Elders set was kicked off with the only song I think they could start with - Galway Girl.

I originally ran across the Elders on a Public Television special and then again at Milwaukee Irish Fest. They quickly became one of my favorite bands that I would see at festivals, theaters and pubs all across the midwestern United States. It was an awesome opportunity to see them playing a couple evening in Ireland.
