This morning we walked to the train station in Dublin and caught the train to Galway on the west coast of Ireland. Before we left we had some breakfast at a nearby coffee shop.
In Galway we checked in to our hotel then went exploring.
Finally we enjoyed playing cards.
We ate dinner at the hotel and listened to some live music. We are staying at the Harbour Hotel.

Today was a busy travel day. We left the hotel in Alcalá de Henares at 7. Then we filled the car with gas and drove to Madrid airport terminal 1 where we turned in our rental car. Next we took a shuttle to terminal 4, checked in, rode a train out to the terminal four auxiliary gates, and got to our gate with time to spare.
The flight to Dublin was about three hours. From the airport in Dublin we took the Dublin Express bus into the center where we are staying at the Temple Bar Hotel. As we walked up to the hotel Roger and Gayle walked up from the other direction. They had arrived in Dublin a few hours earlier. Our rooms weren’t ready so we they gave us coupons for free drinks next door.
Next we went out and walked around a bit then had some lunch. Each couple shared a shepherds pie. They were delicious.
For dinner we had fish and chips at Leo Burdock and then walked around, enjoyed some of the live music and explored a bit before calling it a night.
