| View of Galway from along the Promenade. |
After a night on the town--we were touristy and went to a lively Irish music/dance show--we got a late start, but still managed to walk 6 or 7 miles per Nonna Laura's fitbit. Our circuit included the sights below:
 |
| Canal with rowers and kayakers. |
 |
| Salmon fresh from River Corrib at the Salmon Weir. |
 |
| Where the anglers hang out. |
 |
| This one's for Sam: the local digitalmedia/film school. The Galway Film Festival starts the day we leave Ireland. |
 |
| Word for the day: piscatory. This old piscatory school building was for sale. |
 |
| Kate's Cottage in Claddaugh, the only remaining thatched roof cottage in this former fishing village. |
 |
| The Famine Walk ends here. The Mutton Island lighthouse (cropped out, but just off to the left) was the last bit of Ireland those fleeing the famine would see. Over 100 ships left this port with victims. |
 |
| A friendly bird. |
 |
| Desserts shared at lunch (and hence the need for our 5+ mile walk). |
