We’re still having pretty weather but with a threat of rain in the forecast, we headed for the Galway Museum. It’s free, has a diverse collection and is very informative!
We liked these early glass wine bottles of various shapes and sizes.
And Larry liked the mock-up of a submarine!
From there we went to browse in a local bookstore. These are the Top 5 Best Sellers in Galway right now.
We’re staying in a B & B not far from downtown so we can walk everywhere. The new owner Steven has only been a B & B owner for three weeks! He’s doing a great job and has been fully booked nearly every night since he took over from the previous owner September 1.
Our room is humble with sloping ceilings that we periodically bump our heads on. It’s clean and cozy so we’re happy.
Our room,
And, here’s the exterior of The Asgard House.
For lunch today we went to a tiny, cute place called The Pie Maker. They make and serve creative small pies with fillings like Irish sausage, black pudding, roasted red peppers and Madeira or kale, eggplant, goat cheese and roasted nuts. Here’s the pie maker and me!
We’ll leave Galway tomorrow for the Lake region and the small village of Athlone. We’re making our way back to Dublin for our flight on Friday. We’ve only seen a tiny portion of Ireland…more sights left to discover on future travels! Home soon!
