But seriously. When you are at the grocery store somewhere far away from home with no recognizable brands, what else is there to do but go for what you recognize? And if you still don't feel like you can pick one, go for what the locals are going for I guess... That is how we picked out bread, butter, and tea! So far our theory hasn't hurt us.
Humorous weather-related news: although it is finally nice out, we have witnessed several natives finding interesting ways to deal with the cold and ice that we had. First, Galway is experiencing a shortage of table salt... You do the math. Also, on our walk to City Centre, we watched as a lady leaned out her second story window to dump hot water on her vehicle below. Do they not have defrost?? SO FUNNY.
This weekend will be our first one away from the apartment as we venture South to the Cliffs of Moher. We are hitching a ride with the group from Duquesne (Doo-cane), the school our roomie goes to in Pittsburgh. We are getting picked up from our apartment (no walking!!!) and got a pretty good deal at that! In a couple weekends we will be going with them to Connemara as well. Should be a grand time!
Side notes: we walked just under 6,000 steps today, according to Cami's iTouch pedometer. Seems like more... Registration is on Monday; can't wait to just KNOW what we need to do! Pray for luck getting into our seminars!... Our internet is being kinda sketch because they are working on getting wireless, so skype is equally unreliable for the most part. But that doesn't mean we don't want to try! FAMILIES: get on Skype every once in a while! Seriously. Do it.
ALL OUR LOVE
