Travel is tough. Going to Lubbock is hard enough on any spare weekend...but 2 or 3 connecting flights AFTER a 6 hour bus ride (totaling 25 straight hours of travel) is pure torture!
Most students wore the same socks for 36 straight hours! Whether Houston, Atlanta, JFK or Chicago...the final leg of this brutal travel experience ended with the students, adults and directors stumbling and weak-legging themselves through Irish Customs and on to the road to Galway.
After a much needed nap and shower, the traveling party made a scheduled stop at Monroe's Tavern in the beautiful city centre of Galway. Along with a marvelous meal of Irish stew and home-made Irish Apple Pie, the students were entertained by local Irish traditional musicians and dancers. It was a blast to be in the audience instead of on the stage!
Tomorrow proves to be a great day after a much needed session of rest . To be continued...
