Galway

I made it to Galway yesterday. Instead of taking a nap when we got here, I decided to go walk around. I discovered many wonderful stores that are close to the hostel. One in particular is called The Four Corners. I was drawn in because of the mandolins in the windows and discovered that there were many more inside. I also saw a few bouzoukis, which is an instrument that I am very interested in learning to play. I then walked upstairs and found that there was an art supply store inside and found a light gray pen which is a great find for a designer or sketcher. After that buy I found a celtic mandolin book to add to my music library. Then I walked some more and went into a natural/health store and looked at all the products.

The group set out to go to the movies last night around 9 and we were going to see the Clash of the Titans but when we got there the line was out the door for ticket sales. We looked at a schedule and saw that Alice in Wonderland was playing at a later time. After some group debate we decided to split up to see different movies, a few of us Going to Alice in Wonderland and the rest going to Clash of the Titans starting at 11:55. We made a quick stop at the Ben and Jerry's stand before going into the theater and seeing the movie. I had not heard very many good things about this movie but I still wanted to see it and after it was over I was glad that the bad reviews did not stop me from seeing it because I really enjoyed the movie. I thought that it brought up a good point about how imagination is suppressed because it is viewed as weird or not normal. I think it is important to keep thinking or crazy and impossible things because that it the only way those things can become possible.
