Galway Doesn't like this girl

We got into Galway at 6 and unlike the states everything closes except pubs which only a select few serve food after that. We treated ourselves to both steak and lamb and I had an amazing clam chowder.
Then we had profiteroles for dessert.
After dinner we decided to draw money from the atm which decided to eat my card. So I tried calling the bank but didn't know the country code so I called them back at the hostel to fund out "No you can't get your card back and we won't retrieve it." Then the hostel which was very nice and very helpful but proceeds to tell us the Irish aren't helpful and open late like 10/12. That was not all that was bad about Galway; we found out that the Cliffs of Mohrer, something we mainly wanted to see in Galway was an overnight tour. We were only staying in Galway for a day so we were determined to find an alternative way which the hostel said there was a 1 day tour. So have to say Galway doesn't like this girl.
Random side note: on the train we sat across from a man who was from Glenview and then a girl at the hostel recognized Katie and we found out she went to Regina.
So to start off the day today we woke up at 830 so I could get my eurorail pass validated before we took a tour bus to the Cliffs.
On the way we took mini stops to a cliff made of rocks, some castles, and then the cliffs which were so beautiful. Both Katie and I were bundled up because we have been cold the last couple of days. But seriously the Cliffs are unbelievable and probably around 2/3 stories high. While we were up there I fell down...... A mini hill which wasn't bad but got a gasp from the crowd. Then we went to the other end to O'Briens castle who was a man who visited the cliffs and started the paths for tourists. After that we went to the exhibit and learned about the cliffs and the stories about them.
For instance on the Cliffs there is a corner called jags head. The story behind it is that this woman followed around an Irish warrior named Cu Callah (or something along those lines) so he jumped off 1 cliff and she followed then he jumped off the Cliffs and she followed and died. Her blood was spread everywhere and is now hags head.
Then there was a fisherman who came across a mermaid and took her jacket. The mermaid came to his house and couldn't find her jacket. He asked her to marry her and they had a son and a daughter. Then one day she found it and went back to the cliffs. We learned a lot of fable stories. All around the Irish country side there are fairy trees which are small trees with white flowers. We went around a fairy fort on our tour and had to sing a song in Gaelic to hey rid of the bad spirits :D The fairy trees are not to be cut down or bad luck will happen Some of the stories were a man cut the tree down to build a fire. All of a sudden his best cow went down and ill but when he returned the stocks his cow was better. Then another man told his whole family to dig around a fairy tree to loosen it and get wood for the house. The whole family died and their house went in flames.
On the way back to Galway we stopped at an archaeological spot called Poulnabrone Dolmen which was built by Neolithic farmers about 5,800 years ago making it older than the pyramids We also went to Kilferora Cathedral known as the City of Crosses where there Celtic crosses from the 6th Century.
It was definitely a nice trip but we didn't get to see that much of Galway. All we saw in Galway was the Spanish Arch which was the arch to the port from Spain and st Nicolas cathedral where Christopher Columbus stopped before he took his trip to the Americas. Inside the cathedral there was a window where the pastors son hung himself and for some reason is a thing to see in Galway.
Anyways on the train to Cork where we are going to Blarney Castle and possibly a chocolate shop from the 18th century. Then we leave the next day we have a flight at 7 am ewww. Another somewhat eww is on the way to the cliffs we totally just saw a baby horse being born. The placenta was still attached and the horse was still wet with blood :P haha One thing that was funny was when we left Galway the tide was low to the point where boats were on dirt but when we came back they were floating like you would see any boat.
Were definitely kicking this trip and can't believe we've only been here four days.
and sorry for any spelling errors- often entering on my ipod and need to post quickly.
