6 exams done...2 to go. I had a visitor over the weekend. My friend Brandy has been touring Europe for the past few months and stopped for a visit. The weather has been very hot for the past few weeks and Galway is really coming alive...

Sunny day at the beach (this is a minute walk from our new house)

Our 'local'- Monroe's is a great pub just across the street from us. We went there Friday night for some live music.

and Brandy's first pint of Guiness. (I swear, that was my first of the night.... hours of sleep doesn't make a person look pretty and that's the only photo I have of the two of us)



Some dancing lessons

A rainy day in the mountains. The weather wasn't so great on Saturday but we still had a nice day seeing the countryside.

Unfortunately, the day ended in a car accident. We were rearended on the highway coming into the city (I was stopped waiting for the car in front of me to turn). It was a 4 car chain reaction started by a Land Cruiser pulling a loaded horse trailer. Needless to say, it was a pretty big bang. Blue Thunder and I both sustained some damage but will be okay (in case anyone else was wondering, the horses were okay).

Less than a week to go and I'll be home....
