    I don't know, I'm pretty happy where I am at the moment. (In my bed, in Mammy's house, in Cork.) I'll definitely be sad to leave Galway next month though. If I got a job there I'd be back in a second.

    Half my friends are always ranting about how desperate they are to leave this '****hole'. Not that they have much to argue for their case, they all leave in big houses with wealthy parents and have had easy lives, so I think there's a ridiculous social conditioning...I really don't know where it comes from. Personally I love Ireland and specifically Galway...I'd be happy to live here for the rest of my life.

    Yep, that's Galway! The sun shines and it's the most beautiful place in the world, makes you instantly forget about the months and months of winter when we lived in the most miserable, sodden, depressing place on the planet.

    It's not quite warm enough to don the G-string speedo and stroll along the beach but Go Summer!! :cool:

    The Eye has a fantastic view of the sunset. Many a time I spent down the bar gazing out those windows.

    But to answer the question; no place I'd rather be? At the Cellar bar with a full irish in front of me, a cup of tea to my right and my friend's gathered 'round.

    Its true, when the sun shines, there really isn't another town like it. That said, I've recently realised Galway is my graveyard of ambition and need to light a fire under my ass! I will return, oh yes...but until then, California here I come! (i hope)

    One of the most relaxing places I have ever been had to have been the Pier down in Barna.

    I would walk down there when it was dark and sit near the water. Sometimes the stars would be out glittering in the sky, like a million diamonds and the moon would reflect against the water. The waves washing against the rocks would overpower the sound of traffic in the distance. I would sit there for hours sometimes just staring out at the stars.

    I'm mainly gonna have the new racing boat out the bay this summer - i'll be going too fast/flying too high out of the water to take pics :D
