who said white man can't jump?

The past two weekends I've had the pleasure of having friends come to visit me in Galway!

Two weekends ago Steph, came for a long weekend (that very same week the sun was shinning!). We explored the Irish countryside and in three days road tripped around Connermara, visited the Cliffs of Mohr and biked around InishMohr (Aran Islands). Plus we managed to watch the Rugby and hang out in Galway town. I think the weekend was all up, a very Irish experience!



Then last weekend Jono came for a flying visit, as he flew in and out of Dublin it was pretty much just two nights and one day in Galway, but we managed to pack full the 36hours! We visited the vicious swans at the Claddagh, indulged in Zatzuma crepe goodness, and spent a fair wack of time inside traditional pubs, with Guinness in hand and trad in the background. A highlight of the weekend was getting lost in the rock-walled countryside and finding it the perfect place to practice our jump shots!

yep, ok so Jono showed off a little bit with getting massive air, but I also like to think it had something to do with my ultra fast reflexes and photographic skills ;)

Jump shots may be getting a little overdone, it does appear that in everyones facebook profile these days there is at least one obligatory jump shot. But I still like them!!! I like that in the photos it kinda looks like I'm a superhero!

Thinking music while I convert that into my metric head.....my yes, over a meter!wow, so that's a whole lot of vertical!

Glad you like the change :) I loved the green but this basic style has more options with the photos etc. And a change is as good as a holiday, and, ummm yes, I do like a holiday!
