A minute about... Galway #HogsAbroad in Ireland


We've been so busy, so there is a lot to catch up on, and I'm going to sum up Galway in one post. On our way to Galway we go to see the Cliffs of Moher - so beautiful. Thought we might get pushed over by the wind, but we all made it, and it was well worth it (especially to see where that last scene in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was filmed).
After the cliffs, we got to be Galway Girls for 3 days! It rained almost the whole time we were there, and it seemed to be the worst while we were on the segway tour, but we tried something new and it was a fun new experience (Meredith didn't think so, though - she fell). 
Galway had great people, yummy food, and talented musicians. Almost every place we went there had live music, and there were people playing instruments on every corner in the city center. Speaking of musicians - we love Ed Sheeran for being him and for creating his song 'Galway Girl' which includes a music video that we watched over and over after we went to the places in the video.
