We watched Ireland's premier film, The Stag, for a slight change of pace. I'm not going to lie, one of the main perks was a half-pound of mystery gummie candies that we got to try. The film was ranked at less than 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, so we set our expectations accordingly, only to find that it has more redeeming qualities than we expected. It is Irland's answer to The Hangover, only more focused on character development. I recommend for anyone who really likes Irish accents and lots if male butt crack.

Yesterday was a romp through the Galway city center. Colin was selected out of the crowd to help a street performer escape a straight jacket atop a unicycle (whilst cracking a few jokes). A great way to spend a bit of time on our way to lunch.
Later that night, we grabbed a couple of pints and listened to some award-winning Irish music at a pub downtown. We ran into an Irishman at the bar who was willing to answer my questions about Irish economy and politics (we were surprised to hear that the Irish government hold approximately 500 politicians for this tiny island, and that Northern Ireland is considered both Irish and English for the purpose of passports, and possibly even social programs.)
