Halloween
It feels like it's been days since the last post. I guess it's not been. I've heard the last one didnt make a lot of sense so I'll try now to better that. Firstly his name is Guillaume not Guillome. Galway remains a beautiful place. We arrived at Johnny and Niall's house yesterday afternoon. The day was a welcome slow down in a comfortable place and I am feeling rather at home here in the suburbs which is something I thought I'd never say. The guys are great. A little background info: Johnny is 22 and studying to major in experimental physics and go from that into vulcanology and Niall is 26 and majoring in astrophysics. The two of them are huge ManU fans and we learned quite quickly that Manchester United's rivals are Liverpool. They are on the clean side of college bachelors, which is not to say their house is emmaculate, but quite livable. Erica and I found out returning from the store yesterday that they don't have a spare key :) which makes getting in when they're out tricky. They drink Foster's. Well Halloween in Galway what can be said? Devoting 8 days is not all they also have rubbish fires in every neighboorhood and the trick-or-treaters are diehard (coming out when the windchill was -3C) and illegal fireworks appear all over the early evening sky making for a wondrous panorama from the hills down to the water. We went out again and spent reasonably less money and I had a way better time. The guys took us to a great pub on the North side of the river (more local) and met up with the usual suspects from the last few days. Drinking was not priority over dancing but the music was not the craic so the dancing was goofier to make up for it. Met some more excellent folks and went for the long walk home to fall asleep in real beds and wake up late the next afternoon. Today has been soccer oriented and I'm writing to you and awaiting a delicious plate of shell macaroni with a mushroom bolognaisse (a traditional Irish meal lol). I'll post in a few days but couldnt resist a back-to-back with the free internet and all. Cheers to all!
