I have officially been able to call myself a “Galway Girl” for two days now. My kids have asked me at least 4 times if Ed Sheeran lives here, but the radio stations love themselves some Ed! Today we found what I had been hunting for in Ireland. The small crowded streets of a medieval town with the tiny restaurants and shops and live music at almost every door step. Nothing super notable in this post, but tons of great shots!

So a fun fact in Ireland, you must wear swim caps in all the pools which the kids were just thrilled about. But their desire to swim far outweighed their pride after a while. Also, pools here are open till 10pm in the hotels but are closed to children after 7pm so be sure to plan accordingly!

Tonight is an early night for us since tomorrow we leave super early for our most adventurous portion of the trip yet. We hit the market on the way home today to pack up on food and supplies. We will pick of the Wild Atlantic Way (WAW) where indicated on the map below by the blue marks. The WAW is a coastal road that runs the entire coastal edge of the west coast of Ireland. As you can see by the red line on the map, the entire WAW starts up north and is a total of 1600 miles end to end. It is a path of a twisting road that hits some of the most scenic points. We hit the road around 6 am and will end our trek on Cobh for the night!
