You'll make it big eventually Ben Reel

Tim got here yesterdy and Todd and I were late picking him up from the airport. We got to the bus stop in time, but it took way too long to get there so Tim had to wait for a little while. We ate some pizza from four star pizza and then went to bed way too late because the laundry was taking a long time.

We picked up our rental car this morning and I felt like everything was a little bit unorganized from the beggining of the trip. We woke up earlier than we planned but then we realized that we hadn't really planned any details at all about the trip so everything was a little bit frustrating from the beggining. We didn't have a road map, we weren't sure where our hostels were, we didn't know where to park and we all found out later that Ireland has way too many roundabouts. We finally picked up the car and then picked up John at the spire in the middle of town. I was kind of nervous driving on the left side of the road and at the beggining I kep drifting to the left side of the lane because I'm used to sitting on the other side of the car. We had tiger bread and cheese for breakfast and then we ate tons of cookies and chips and stuff on the way to Galway. I feel like this is turning into a ramblefest so I'm going to highlight the rest of the trip.

Roundabouts are ridiculous and I am glad there aren't very many at home. The huge ones are alright but the medium sized ones stink bad. I drove around one roundabout and I ended up driving into someones driveway instead of the road to Galway.

We decided to try to find this national park called Connemara which is right next to Galway. We drove for a while trying to stay by the coast but I ended up taking us inland somehow. The fields and bogs or whatever they were outside looked awesome, so we found a random side road and got out and hiked through a giant bog where there were tons of rocks and bog and wet. I liked it a lot because it was like we were in Ireland a long time ago or something.

Some more things happened also but I feel like this is turning more into a journal where I ramble on about every detail of my day. Today was pretty eventfull though, so maybe that's ok sometimes.

Galway is nice. I'll post some pictures of it later. My shoes got real wet but I dried them in the bathroom dryer. Some guy did some serious business in one of the toilets at the hostel and smelled up the entire hall which is about a quarter mile long. I'll end it there.
