It’s been a long time…

But yes, I am still alive. My year abroad becomes more and more enjoyable. Galway is a lovely city. It is full of life, energy and music. I visited it twice in two weeks. The first time with three friends, who I met at the Arrival Camp in Dublin. One of them stayed over night at my house and we spent the following day together walking along the coast and through Clifden. It was a very nice time.

The second I went to Galway, was last weekend. I met my aunt, uncle and two cousins there. They came from England the whole way to visit me in Clifden. We spent the Saturday in Galway and walked through the harbour and the streets. We visited the market and the old bookstore, which are very hidden and had a good time together.

On Sunday we went to Kylemore Abbey. It was a monastry, school and a place to work for hundreds of people during the famine in the 19th century. Now it is a place, which is visited by tenthousands of people every year. The Abbey has beautiful gardens, you can visit a gothic church and a mausoleum, which was built for one of the owners.

After our visit at Kylemore Abbey, we drove through Connemara and stopped at two beautiful beaches where we spent a lot of time.

I am still walking very much at our beach and the lake near our house. But it’s getting colder and can’t go to the beach very often any more. So, I enjoy it as long as I can.
