The Irish music archives are awesome! I spent about an hour watching “instructional” DVDs for super super traditional, non-competition Irish step (learned an entire dance, which I have yet to try). I kind of want an excuse to just go live there for a couple of days doing research and learning all these old dances (and about all these old dancers)
Afterwards, we found a whole foods, super natural (that kind of stuff) restaurant, which was really delicious (especially the strawberry tart)
Then, off to the train, on which Emily played “competitive train photography” (we also played cards and slept and read)
Once in Galway, Emily met up with some Germans she had met when she had been there earlier, so we met up later to go out to a pub, which was fun, complete with dorky Irish music. Then we explored a little in search of set dancing and failed, so we went to their common room and played a card game called Maumau, which is basically Uno with normal cards.
Moomin enjoyed the evening too.
