For mapping, we mapped Omey beach. It was a normal beach with some metamorphic folds. We were there for 3 days. The first and third(the irish pronounce it terd, hehe) days were normal, meaning cold windy and cloudy. The second day was miserable, raining sideways, huge waves and cold. After our project was done and turned in, we had Monday the 23rd free in Galway. We got bused down, I chose to go down early on the 9 a.m. bus. I got in and was surprised that none of the shops were open. After the drive we arrived at 10 and none of the shops opened till 10:30. So I wandered around, tried to follow the locale commuters as they went about their ways. I walked, tried to blend in as I watched the other people as much as I glanced at the local buildings. I found a nice looking cafe and had my first full irish breakfast.
It consisted of eggs, bacon( more similar to ham), sausage, potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes, and white and black pudding. I really didn't have more than a couple of bites of black and white pudding since everything else was so filling. But, I can't really say it even had a taste, just a bland puck.
After breakfast, I continued wandering till hitting up the town square, and spending some time in a coffee shop. After ordering a cappuccino and croissant, I chatted up the waitress. She told me she was from Italy, and here working. My accent gave away my american-ness, and she went back to her work, as I did mine, continuing to people watch. The time passed as fast as the passerbys did, and it was already 4. I walked back to where we were to be picked up, and I began to drift off as we drove off to the camp. Immediately after getting in bed I quickly feel asleep at 5 and didn't wake till the next mourning.
