Sheep on an Irish hillside.
Well....at the moment i am enjoying a break between tours....but not for long, as i start again next week with my new party from Oregon. Maybe i should say i am having a break of sorts as i have so much to catch up on when i do get a break from touring. My garden right now is like a jungle, and the weeds are having a party, but i hope to get around to that this week so that my neighbours will talk to me again.
Our weather has been poor and in a way i am glad that i am not on tour because of that. Hopefully we will see a change over the next few days. The Galway Races are on next week and that signals the begining of a crazy week of horse racing, partying, and free for all celebrating for the full period. There are seven days of horse racing on the famous Ballybrit Race Course and the racing features both flat races and the steeple chasing, which is over the fences. There will be millions gambled on the horses and the amount spent in Galway City and surrounding areas would be hard to calculate, but again it would run into the millions. If you happen to be in the Galway area you would be mad to miss out on a day at the races. The race course itself is first class with world class facilities and accommodation for thousands of people. The services to and from the course are also first class, with buses running from the city to the course, which is just a couple of miles outside the city. The restaurant there provides first class meals and the bars have all the drinks you could possibly desire. If you like a gamble then the bookmakers are there at the course, and you also have the Tote. No excuses.....the Galway Races are the place to be next week ....and i will be there with my next adventurers.
The weekend after the races at the end of this month is the Bank Holiday weekend and there will not be a bed available in Galway. It is the busiest bank holiday weekend of the year and the town will be buzzing. Galway city is Ireland's livliest and best city to party in and anybody who has been there will always tell you that. It is also a wonderful young persons town with many thousands of students here from all over. The streets will be alive with musicians and performers and the night life in the pubs will be awesome. Come and see for yourself and fall in love with Galway....like many before you did. Maybe i will see you there. I might even give you a winner.
