Galway-Inis Mor

We just got back to Galway today. Last night we took a ferry to the biggest island in the chain called Aran Islands. It was pretty crazy place. There are stone fences everywhere. We biked and hiked all day long. We must have biked at least 10 miles and walked about half that. The previous day we spent here in Galway. I like Galway better than Dublin. This city is more artsy and way smaller. The people are more likely to talk to you than in Dublin. We met a couple of local Galway chaps and went pub hopping with them. I wish I could post some pictures but this computer doesnt have a memory card slot and I forgot my usb cable. DOH! So we are here in Galway for another 3.5 hours. The bus to Dublin airport takes about 4 hours. We are hoping to stay in the airport tonight and not get kicked out since the flight leaves at 7. Cheers!

Having the time of your life?! Wish I could have gone along with you, but don't think that bringing your nephew along would be too great of an idea...keep me posted with your adventures...never knew you played the bongos; you're an original hippie! :)

Love, Ems

Jared, your photos of Inis Mor, the Aran Islands, and CLiffs of Mohan take me back to my trip 3-4 years ago. It's really a special place. We had a small Portal picnic today and Ron mentioned your blog .. glad I visited.

Hi Jared

Love your photos of Aran - would you mind if I used one on my website? We sail to the Aran Islands from Doolin in Clare, so I'm looking for good shots of Inis Mor: http://www.cliffs-of-moher-cruises.com/
