    You should take tons of pics just for the memories. When I was studying in Sydney last time, I didn't snapped many pictures because it feels like it's your own hometown already.

    It's only when I'm back to my country did I realize that I got only a handful of photos in Australia. What a shame.

    It's easy to take your "hometown" for granted. We've become comfortable here so I have decided to be a bit of a tourist. Doesn't it always seem like when you go on holiday you never take the pictures that you should have? I think I'll start carrying my camera around all the time now...

    nice shots! hope it was a good holiday!

    Thanks Macoosh! It was pretty good, but as you know the weather was shite :)
    It's actually snowing a bit off and on here today. We just stayed inside after the parade and had our Guinness at home, watched the tragedy of the rugby tournament and then some movies. It was still fun though! :) Hope you had a nice holiday as well!

    Happy St. Patrick's Day James
    Looks like you had a great time in Galaway. I didn't even get to drink any green beer! But...they did dye the Chicago River green...seriously.

    Loads of Americans here in Galway, it's strange...and at least we didn't have to succumb to green beer, ugh! Only Guinness for me!

    I'm writing a recap post that should be ready for Monday.

    Thanks! It's nice to be a tourist in your own town. I've been carrying my camera with me since I never know when I might see a good photo-op.
