We made it through another rainy night!
Up at 8 and a short walk in for coffee & breakfast. Walked around but it's raining hard so... seeing as the casino was open we popped in to see what an Irish casino looked like. It's full of slots with a couple electronic roulette tables. I think there were only 3 people in the place so Kelly spotted a machine and dropped in €5. In four spins it hit for a €50 payout! We left😄 👍
We went back to the flat and grabbed the car for some rainy sightseeing/geocaching. Kelly also elected to use her Hunter Wellie boots as her shoes were suffering water leakage.

| Wellie boot time! |
On the way we stopped for some diesel for the car ($1.79cdn a liter) and headed into town. We found some parking and walked over to the Galway City Museum... which it turns out, is closed Mondays! Arghh!

| River Corrib |
We walked over to the High Street area with shops galore. Kelly was in her glory! Wool shop after wool shop to investigate.

We went in and listened to the organ player at St Nicholas Collegiate Church. He played beautiful music so we sat & listened. Lots of interesting dedications on the walls & stain glass of course.
 |
| Amazing music! |

| Dedication to Jane Eyre |

More shop stops as we worked our way around the area. Lots to see and plenty of eateries for every type of food. As the rains continued we decided on the Movie Dunkirk playing at the IMC theater.. nice way to be inside for a few hours. The movie was very good.
It appears as though the eclipse happens every day on the west coast of Ireland!
Back to drop the car off and walk over to the center of Salthill. Kelly is famished do we set out to fix that problem. An early dinner at the Oslo followed by a nice walk along the waterfrontduring a break in the rain.It is now the nicest it's been since our arrival. Kelly spotted a leprechaun's car and had a picture taken proving once and for all that they do exist!
 |
| Yep it belongs to a Leprechaun! |
 |
| Finally in the water... sort of! |
 |
| Beach rock. |
 |
| Black Rock Diving Tower.. lots of people out there! |
Back at the flat, we relaxed and enjoy the rest of the evening. Tired tonight so an early one for us.
