Galway Part 1!
I suppose there is a reason that I have put off this next part of my trip: Galway.

I fell in love and didn’t even realize it until I went to leave. The ocean was so close that you could jump in. The smell in the air was cleaner than I expected from other beaches I had visited in the past.

Galway was the first of the bigger “cities” I would visit, and by far it was the most enchanting, with its huge nature walking trails just a few minutes from its quaint little amusement park that sat on the coast.

The walking trails were exuding old energy as you walked through them; the overgrown moss and fallen trees looked like a world of fantasy come to life. As I saw a fairy circle, I smiled to myself as I turned and walked the other way.

It was while taking a picture of a moss-covered bridge that I was viciously attacked with sniffs and kisses by the cutest guardian I had ever laid eyes on. After his inspection, the beautiful creature sat for a picture.
