Day 14, 15, and 16 (by Nic)

Day 14
We didn't do a whole lot today, it was our las full day in Galway.  We walked around the town a bunch more and went in nearly every shop to see what they had.  We went for a short walk along the coast, the city had a long paved path for walkers and bikers.  We got two incredible truffles from a chocolate cafe that were amazing! We had a double chocolate one that rocked, and a baily's irish creme that was also phenomenal.  We did laundry again today so we will have clean clothes again!!! Yay!  Also we got a Spanish activity book and a dictionary and grammar book so we can practice our spanish before we go to Spain on Monday!  That's pretty much it.  We are going to do at least one section in our spanish book each night!!!

Day 15
Bus back to Dublin today.  Usually I'm ok on the busses, but this time i got sooooooo car sick. I felt like i was going to throw up the entire time! Plus the bus driver was awful, and we took the express route which was supposed to be 2 hours and 20 minutes, but ended up being 3 and a half because of "traffic".  It was the worst bus ride of my life.

We are staying in Isaac's Hostel now.  It's really nice, but there are tons of people here! We slept in an 8 bed dorm with 4 French guys, and 2 guys from Virginia.

We walked around in Dublin a little, mostly just to get fresh air, and then had pasta for dinner and called it a night.

Day 16
Continental breakfast this morning was crazy! There were soooo many people trying to get food at the same time! It was insane! And then there were so few seats that I let Hannah sit down, but i had to eat standing up.  We are going to go out for breakfast tomorrow for sure.

We did a lot more walking today and went in a bunch of stores.  I let Hannah get a new pair of shoes that she is very excited about.  We also got a hot chocolate at a store called Lemon (we had breakfast there one of our first days in Dublin). Then we went to a different coffee shop and got a scone and frappe and sat and did a lesson in our spanish book.  It was a pretty relaxing day, like every day.

We're just hanging in our hostel now.  Tomorrow we are going to church at St. Patricks church at 11:30 I believe. Tomorrow is our last full day in Dublin and then to Spain on Monday!!!

Ok, hope you enjoy reading! Remember you can ask us questions and stuff.  Bye
