Today was our second day with the Galway Tour Company and we didn't end up with Michael...we ended up with Desmond or "Dessie." A 75 year old little Irish man who was in love with me and my red hair. Throughout the day I got nudged (which I'd more call punched) every time I passed him, he made me hold his hand crossing the road, called me Rua (red head) all day long with a wink every time and he also grabbed and patted my bum while I was standing by the fire to tell me I was going to burn up that close. He takes advantage of the fact that he is a little old man but he's just a dirty little old man with a nasally little Irish voice that you have to try really hard to understand, though if you didn't catch it the first time he almost always repeated what he said about three times. Brilliant day! ;)
Desmond took us to see many different things. We went to a castle, a ferry fort, an old tomb, a great little pub for lunch and the best part the Cliffs of Moher at the end of the trip were just as breath taking as the first time I saw them. It was VERY windy and pretty darn chilly but a very fun day altogether! On the bus trip back to Galway we also got out by the ocean to look around and it was very pretty!
The bus drive back from Galway to Dublin was long and boring and unwanted after being on a bus al day for the past two days but that's ok. We made it back to our hotel and planned on going to a pub (since it's my last night in Ireland) but we're all tired and just ready for sleep. After being here for 4 great months my time in Ireland is almost over! We head out on a plane for London tomorrow around noon.
