✨ Galway was the second-to-last stop on our Ireland adventure, and it did not disappoint! On the way in, we passed horses along the road before heading to the iconic Cliffs of Moher — a view you truly have to see once in your lifetime 🌊🐎.
We had a cozy dinner at the Park House Hotel, then wandered Galway’s streets: spotted the Galway Girl sculpture, walked through the Spanish Arch, and even made it to the charming village of Claddagh, where I picked up my Claddagh ring 💍. One of my favorite surprises was stumbling into Tigh Nora, a little gin and wine bar that ended up being such a gem 🍸. Of course, we also couldn’t miss the famous O’Connor’s Pub — live music, incredible vibes, the whole Irish pub dream 🎶🍻.
Other highlights: meeting the sweetest stingray at the Galway Atlantaquaria, admiring the simple beauty of the Galway Cathedral, and wrapping it all up with dinner at Vaffancolo — and if you’re from New York, you’ll get a laugh at that name 🍝😂.
Galway truly stole a piece of my heart. 💚🇮🇪
Now on our way to Tullamore to see a haunted castle and the “Tullamore Distillery”
