Hi Eveyone,
I know it's been a few days. I've been pretty sick actually. I travelled from Cahirsiveen to Galway, which was a 6 hour trek. Galway is so busy, I think eveyone in Ireland is here of the horse races. Apparently it's a huge deal. There is major traffic. It took the bus and hour to get me to my B&B, should have been a 15 mins drive!
Yesterday, Maureen, the lady who owns the B&B convinced me to go to the Cliffs of Moher. They are a huge attraction here and I am glad I went. The cliffs come 250 meters out of the ocean and go for approx. 8 miles. They are beautiful to see. Unfortunaltely the bus ride made me feel even worse. He went up this road called corkscrew hill and I didn't think I'd make it. The rest of the driving for the day I had to lay down. The driver and the rest on the bus took to calling me "Sleeping Beauty"..Very funny. We also stopped at the Buren, which are 350 square km of mountains made of lime stone. I stopped for a guided walk...plus I needed to get off the bus. It was very enjoyable and the guide was great.
Today I added a day to Galway because I can't travel. Can't even think about getting on a bus. I walked the 4 km into town from the B&B and will check out Galway. It's the last day of the races and many people have cleared out so I'll be able to explore in a more enjoyable manner......
Ok. I'm updating this post. Galway is lovely. There is a section of town devoted to shops and those doining the shopping! It's Sunday so not too busy....but that's in comparison to the mayham of when I first arrived. Bought the kids some gifts and found a gluten free restaurant where I could enjoy a yummy tosted BLT. :)

Eric Astrid, Too bad you've been feeling so ill lately. Is it all motion sickness? Can you get some gravol to take with you as you travel? Hope you feel better. Sounds like you are seeing some amazing sites. Love you!
astrid Eric, i've bought everything available here. Today I went to a natural remidy store and bought a huge bag of ginger.....seems to be working, but i'm going to put on a million pounds cause its the chrystilised kind...but it works.
Eric I've been looking into it, and ginger seems to be the stuff! They even put it in gravol now. Glad it works.
