Dia dhuit! This morning we had our first class, a lecture by John Eastlake on Irish Literature. He focused on literature from the west of Ireland and Aran Islands. The students also learned several phrases in Gaelic. After the lecture, John walked us to the oldest part of the NUI campus and then back to our bus for a packed lunch. Then Joe (our bus driver/tour guide) took us on a walking tour of Galway- through the Cathedral, the Spanish Arch, and Shop street.
