Galway, Ireland, December 19, 2019
Took the bus up to Galway from Limerick for a day trip to check out the Christmas market and the city itself. The market didn't wind up being a thing, but an effort was made! Apologies for the audio in the Cathedral, I was trying to be respectful but it makes it a bit difficult to hear.
*What I thought was construction at the Spanish Arch was actually a flood prevention measure; the river had flooded pretty drastically the day before, hence the ginormous orange buoys.
*Regarding the Lynch Memorial Window - the father was the magistrate in 1493, and hung his son for murdering a sailor who was a romantic rival. Otherwise I was pretty close, though! Yay!

Irish Roads / Irish Countryside - On the Road to Galway/Connemara - Northern Ireland #Ireland
On our recent trip to Galway/Connemara - as we crossed the border from County Leitrim to County Sligo - we took a break to record the landscape... a mix of farmland and forest.
The most interesting trips out of all are those which bring you through different scenery such as the one we have been through while crossing over from county Leitrim to county Sligo in Ireland and which brought us through several towns, such as Dromahair, Ballintogher, Ballygawley, and Manorhamilton.
Let's be clear first about the different counties that are found there and which form Ireland as a whole which are 32 counties found along with the four provinces which each carries its traditions and charms. There are five different counties in Connacht and which we have been through some of them while enjoying this trip on the road to Galway, which are Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon, and Sligo, which of course come in addition to the rest of those 32 ones found out there.
While being on the road to Galway, we have made a quick stop near some towns, such as Dromahair. Dromahair is a small village in county Leitrim in Ireland and which its name means Ridge of Two Demons, it is 10 km from Manorhamilton - another place we have stopped by - and 17 km from Sligo town and which is believed to come amid unspoiled natural landscapes.
In addition to coming across the small village of Dromahair, there is also another place which we managed to visit during this trip to Galway, which is Ballintogher. Ballintogher is a town in county Sligo and which is located 8 kilometers southeast of the county town of Sligo between Ballygawly to the west and Dromahair in county Leitrim to the north-east.
After passing by these two different villages which are located all next to one another, we also came across the third place which is Ballygawley. Ballygawley - which is also sometimes written as Ballygawly - is a town in county Tyrone in Northern Ireland - and this is another thing to pay attention to, which is coming across a town and a village that are close to one another but which one is located in Ireland and the second is located in Northern Ireland.
The last point which we managed to pass by during this long trip to Galway was Manorhamilton, which is the second largest town in county Leitrim, Ireland, and which is located between Sligo and Enniskillen.
Galway - which we have gone through all these towns and villages to reach - is a harbor city on Ireland's west coast and sits where the River Corrib meets the Atlantic Ocean. One of the famous things about this city is the hub which is an 18th century Eyre square that is considered a popular meeting spot surrounded by shops and different traditional pubs that usually offer live Irish folk music and thus always manage to attract those tourists visiting the city to it.
Moving through this trip and passing by those different villages to reach Galway city in Ireland, it means there are some places and attractions which one should stop by and enjoy. From these different attractions found in Galway, one will come across the Turoe Pet Farm that both the adults as well as the kids will enjoy their time at; the kids will feed the animals, run around, and will eventually come to the monkey castle to play, while the adults will be enjoying a nice walk (
In Galway city, one could also visit the Oranmore Castle which carries a long history and allows people to walk around, come inside, and even get to the top but during specific times of the year (
Just near all these beautiful places that one could easily visit in Galway, Ireland, there is also one beautiful and magnificent place that should definitely be among the list of things to do in Ireland and which is the Cliffs of Moher that is situated on Galway Bay, but which is definitely a whole different experience that you will enjoy - you might not be that lucky with the weather, but we will cross our fingers for that (
The thing about Ireland and Northern Ireland is that there are different counties to form them and even though they might not be far from one another and might not need a lot of time to travel from one to the other - it could be just one or two hours - it is still considered not easy for lots of people to do during the same day.
If you got the chance to visit Galway then in addition to those places we have brought above to visit, you should also consider visiting the Cathedral of Our Lady Assumed into Heaven, The Eyre Square, Galway City Museum, St. Nicolas Collegiate Church, Lynch Memorial Window, James Mitchel Museum, Dunguaire Castle, and get the chance to discover the whole city on your own.
It might not be the capital city but we enjoyed being there as much as we might be in Dublin or Belfast. Did you enjoy the drone video? Irish Roads / Irish Countryside - On the Road to Galway/Connemara

County Cork's Kilmichael Ambush Memorial Monument
The Kilmichael Ambush was an ambush near the village of Kilmichael in County Cork on 28 November 1920 carried out by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) during the Irish War of Independence. Thirty-six local IRA volunteers commanded by Tom Barry killed seventeen members of the Royal Irish Constabulary's Auxiliary Division. The Kilmichael ambush was politically as well as militarily significant. It occurred one week after Bloody Sunday, marking a profound escalation in the IRA campaign.

Foxford Hero Admiral Brown Founder of the Argentinian Navy
Maggie Pashley and I run a healing Centre and Airbnb in the small, homely village Foxford in lovely County Mayo, in the beautiful far West of Ireland. See:
There are five museums nearby. And amazingly Foxford has three great heroes in its history.
Come and stay at our B&B for a holiday. See the ranges of healing and readings you can add on if you wish.
Weirdly, Foxford also boasts the national hero of Argentina among its former inhabitants.
Admiral William Brown started off his life in Foxford and he lived to become the founder of the Argentine Navy and hero of Argentine’s struggle to throw off the colonial oppression of the Spanish Empire.
Aged nine, he set off from Foxford for the USA and a new life in 1786, with his grieving father after the deaths of the mother and all the children.
But sadly his father fell ill in the coffin ship and died a few days after landing in Philadelphia, leaving William an orphan.
But William was not daunted. He got a job as a Cabin Boy, and ten years later, by age 19, he was in command of his own ship.
He later escaped from a Napoleonic prison and in 1814 led the Argentine navy in a desperate but victorious battle. He defeated the fleet of the Spanish Empire. In a moment of glory, he freed the Colony from the Spanish Imperialists.
Visit the Admiral Brown Museum in Foxford. The presentation is so stirring, such a tribute to courage. The staff are wonderful.
