Jean made it to Ireland!!!

So after about 21 hours of travel time (including buses, subways, airplanes, and more buses) Jean has made it to Galway - her first stop on her Ireland adventure. I arrived in Shannon airport just after 2:00pm Ireland time and caught a bus from there to Galway. While sitting at the stop I met and chatted with a man from London, England on his way to visit his brother in Gort (a cute little town on the same bus route). We had a nice little chat and I am hoping that is just the beginning of many random chats :-) The bus drive from the airport to Galway took about 2 hours and was just beautiful. Almost every plot of land is surrounded by little stone walls, there are ruins of old churches and buildings in random backyards, and the grass is just so darn green!!! Well I will keep this short because I am going to go hunt for food and wander town and take pictures before dark.

Signing off from Galway,
Jean
