And in tribute to St. Patricks Day, Dublin hosts a six day festival filled with Irish music, green beer for the tourists (real irish folk drink Guiness) and much much more.
But the place that holds a special place in my heart is a little place known as Galway. It was once a walled city, and while the interior of the main business district is a maze of crooked streets with houses that feel like they are going to fall over into the middle of these crooked streets, it is a true testament to the beauty of an older centre.
About ten minutes outside of the heart of the city centre, there is a beautiful little 'seaside resort' town called Galway that hosts a great selection of restaurants as well as nooks and crannies that crave to be explored. This little motorworks was found up the back alley, off of the main through-fare.
There were many little things that made Galway one of my favorite stops. One of the others is linked to my past, and so will be discussed at a later date and time. But until then, know that this is definitely one place worth the visit.
