Galway Part 2

ByJonathan Gilbert

What a city Galway is, with a huge college campus that is surrounded by water and nature. Any window you look out of will show you the greenery and majesty of what happens when everyone does their part to help keep nature clean and alive.

The harbor welcoming visitors to the Aran Islands lies within walking distance of the city center. Giant boats dotted the area as I made my way around the city.

I met the Galway Girl I would have otherwise not seen, had a new friend not pointed it out to me and taken the picture for me, which was nice, as it was a relief not to be the one behind the camera for once.

Knowing I had only scratched the surface of the city and area, I knew I would have to come back to discover more of this beautiful place.
