GALWAY!

Location: Kinlay House Hostel; Galway, Ireland

Okay, so I've had a couple of Guinness and it's about 2:25 am DST.

So, it's the second night of our Euro trip and tonight was by far the BEST!

Levi and I made friends with two of our roommates. A couple from Nebraska, whose names are Dan and Meghan. Dan has been studying abroad in Limerick and Meghan is on a 9 day trip visiting Dan. After meeting we decided to go out on the town together. All of us pregamed in the hostel with a couple of brews and then we headed out for Taaffes, which is a pub in dahn tahn Galway (gotta throw that Pittsburghuese in there).

Taaffes was a great time! Live traditional Irish music, Guinness that was much much much cheaper than Dublin, and a laid back atmosphere. Unfortunately, most of the pubs in Galway shut down at midnight. We departed from Taaffes and went to to Quay Street, where there was a bar that was SUPPOSEDLY open until 2 am! Well, that wasn't the case. After using the restroom, or as they would say in Ireland the, "toilet," we found that the bartenders were no longer serving. After inquiring with the bartender we discovered that there was a bar down the road and across the river that was open late. We told Dan and Meghan that we would meet them and we left for the Roisin Dubh, which ended up being a club. Levi and I aren't really club type of guys, but we went in anyways and bought some pints.

When the pints were gone, we decided to be too. We found a fast food place (again) across the street, where we proceded to buy some fries and whatnot. While waiting for our fries, an Irish girl asked us, "can you spare 3 chips (Irish for fries)?" We told her of course and her and her friend joined us for a late night snack. We ended up chatting for quite some time. Their names were Maria and Sinead. No, not Sinead O'Connor. The two of them ended up being quite fun and we had a grand time. Levi and I went back to dance for a little bit, then we walked back with two Canadian dudes that praised our Euro Trip bender...

Ah, I would like to formally wrap this up, but I only have 28 seconds left on my internet.
