This day was another rain-out. We drove over to the cliffs, but that was a mistake. We went a few hours drive out of our way to pass by the cliffs and didn’t even bother to stop because we weren’t going to get out of our car in the pouring down rain. There was a lot of localized flooding again this day. Just the other day when we got hit with heavy rain the little town we had stayed in previously Kenmare got flooded. Here are a few articles from it: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/images/2008/1024/1224715114761_1.html and http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2008/1023/breaking39.html. It’s really sad, it was such a cute little town and we didn’t even take a picture of the streets that we walked in and the next day they were completely flooded.
So after our “cliffs” diversion and lots and lots of rain. We made it into Galway and found our B&B, St. Judes. This was a very cute early 1900’s looking home converted to a B&B. We loved it! Since we got into Galway early on a wet Saturday with nothing to do, we found an Omniplex nearby and went to see Burn After Reading. We both enjoyed the packed showing a little more than our Irish friends. Spent a few minutes after the show debating on seeing another movie because of the weather but decided to leave instead.
We went out to eat near our B&B later that early evening. We got Italian, which had been sadly missed by both of us. The meal was great and we turned in early. We opted for a lazy evening after all of the stressful hydroplaning driving from the day.
Not much, but hey it’s our holiday!!
