My mother taught be to be a good sharer

This is a duel edged post tonight. I wanted to share about yesterdays holiday (Arthur's Day) and give you a glimpse into my everyday activities.

My days in Galway are actually filled with very little, which leaves me time to enjoy videos like the following:

(skip to about 40 seconds)


my personal fav.





Honestly, those videos make me cry from laughing so much. But just so you know I'm not a total loser sitting alone in my room watching youtube videos, I first enjoyed all of these with some of my friends one night when we were bored. Mostly my days are spent on Stumble Upon and Project Free TV. It's a sad life. But around Wednesday the week really seems to speed up and I'm always surprised when it's Monday again. So I suppose you could say life isn't horrible here :)


So yesterday was Arthur's Day. For those of you who haven't been to Ireland in the past three years during the fall, Arthur's Day is a holiday (but the banks don't close) in honor of the creator of the drink, Arthur Guinness. It's a day filled with music and cheap guinness at pubs all over Ireland. Obviously a huge attraction for anyone within the country over the age of 18. So we all went out last night to see what the huge celebration was for and had a lovely surprise of 3 euro pints. Everyone cheers at 5:59 (no clue why) but it was a great bonding activity and fantastic night filled with live music...and beer. 
don't get your hopes up, this is someone else's pint...
ALTHOUGH... I did enjoy a glass of Guinness, one of my two I will have while in Ireland (one yesterday and one at the Guinness factory in a week)


Tomorrow we're going to see the famous Cliffs of Moher...Princess Bride anyone? Or more recently, and just as epic, the final Harry Potter. Anyways, these are probably one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ireland and I'm really excited for our trip.

Cheers,
k
