Mingling with the locals

I went out last night and it didn't take long before I met up with Kevin, Ursula and Fionna. We also met up with Tim, a Canadian who is backpacking through Europe alone. We had an absolute blast and closed down just about every bar in Galway. Ursula is an Irish teacher (i.e., she teaches the Irish language). Both she and Fionna are in the European version of the Peace Corps and they're headed back to Ethiopia in a couple of weeks.

More on this later... we're off to do a day trip of the west coast.
