I am writing this blog sitting in my freezing cold room while it is raining outside and somehow I feel slightly comforted. This is the first day in over a week that I have seen the Galway I have grown to know and love the past three months. Rain has been gone for a while now, leaving the city of Galway with this really warm ball of light in the sky. Everyone was outside sitting in parks I never knew were supposed to be parks. I noticed benches and sand and lawns that people can have a picnic. It was too warm to wear a jacket, or even a sweater! I was not sure exactly how to handle myself, I forgot what sunshine felt like! Oh but it was grand. Long runs next to the beach, and reading Harry Potter by the canal, getting sunburned! It truly was a beautiful time in Galway, so beautiful I had teared up a few times walking by the canal, overlooking the city on my way back to the apartment. One night we went out to dinner and had a delicious pizza and then walked to go get gelado as the sun was setting. One day I went on a run and on the way back decided to lay on the beach. One day I went to a spanish cafe by the spanish arch where they had set out tables and I ordered a tuna sandwich and smoothie. One day I walked with a few girls and had a picnic across a river from a castle. I don't know exactly what came over Galway but I just wanted to say thank you because it was the best week I have had yet.
Pictures to come!
