• After a night in Sligo, we took off toward Galway. A quick stop in the town of Donegal revealed their annual food festival which was fantastic. An amazing display of food from beautiful restaurants and some Executive Chef’s showing off their secrets. With latte in hand, I was happy to sit and watch the demonstrations – which were divine!
• Arriving in Galway feels great. It’s a fantastic cultural city! The high street is filled with lovely shops and it just feels nice and welcoming.
• We spent some time at Galway Bay and met some lovely local swimmers. The water temperature was 16 degrees (and there were plenty of locals swimming including Ruby, a local dog – who needed some coaxing let me add). Apparently the daily talk amongst this hardcore set of swimmers is if the water is ‘up or down’ which is the temperature. Reports indicate last week it reached 16.7 degrees and the locals thought they were swimming in soup – too hot for them and they didn’t feel refreshed!
• There’s a large tower which plenty of crazy Irish jump off into the freezing waters. I was very happy to sit in the sun and watch.
• The Irish boys in Aqualicious can never complain about the water being cold in the Centenary again!
