I left the house at 12:30 to drive to Orlando.
I caught a 4:00pm flight to Newark.
In Newark I saw, hugged, and caught up with many of my old friends.
Our plane took off at 10pm.
There is a 6 hour difference.
I slept for 1 hour on the plane.
We met our guide, Jerry.
We drove 90 minutes to the town of Galway.
Here are some pictures of the typical medieval Irish town.

Buildings build in the 1200-1400 were often plastered over to look
like bricks.... to look modern. Recent work has chiseled
away part of the plaster to show the buildings as the were originally.
