Heading out shortly

Had a nice drive through Connemara yesterday, although it was rainy most of the time, really mucking with what should've been some amazing scenery.

Getting back into Galway we headed to McDonough's for Fish N Chips (I tried the sting ray for a change of pace!) then meandered around the town, meeting up with Emma and my friend Kimberly for a while. We ended up at the pub at the Spanish Arch Hotel, which had a group called "Alale" that was practically a Flook cover band, subbing a double bass for the second flute/accordion role, but their whistle player also busted out a set of Galician (Spanish-Celtic) pipes for a few tunes, which was a cool twist.

And any night that culminates with Emma once again cooking breakfast for the lot of us at 3am is a good time.

Looking ahead, we've made arrangements for our B&B in Dingle for tonight and am nearly set to move out. Looks like the rest of my pics and vids and such from yesterday will make it up with the big batch when I get back to Galway in a week and a half.

Otherwise, I'll check in a bit from the road when I can.
