Galway Days 5 & 6 - Trad Music and Aran Sweaters and Claddaghs - OH MY!

We continue our Ireland Road Trip with days 5 & 6, before leaving Galway for County Sligo.
After leaving the Cliffs of Moher, we head back to Galway for an evening of trad music at two different places, and a visit to the Aran Sweater Market. There we'll learn about Clanarans, and see a sample. Join us as we walk the Spanish Parade to the Spanish Arch, built in the 1500's and watch a beautiful sunset over Galway Bay, complete with swans and gulls.
We'll show you the uilleann pipes, unique to Ireland, and hear one played as we give you a genuine feel for a trad music session in a pub.
In the morning, before departing the City of Tribes, we'll bid farewell to our hosts at Avoca House B & B, then head down to Galway Harbor, where Chris will take a look around. Karen traipses to Thomas Dillon Jewelers for an original Claddagh ring and to visit the museum there to learn the history, legends and tradition of one of the most iconic Irish symbols, the claddagh.

Brian had visited Galway twice and absolutely loved it! The first time he brought me back a beautiful claddagh necklace. I hope we can visit someday together. 😊

Hi Brian and Rachel! Thanks so much for watching! We would love to correspond with you privately regarding the possibility of getting together to talk about a collaboration. We sent a request to your FB page so we can message you…😊

@@thissecondhalfadventure I sent you a DM on instagram. We can’t seem to find the message on FB.

If I may ask, how much were those beautiful, awesome sweaters? Wool, waterproof, oh my ❤!

[@thissecondhalfadventure]

They started at around $75 and went up from there. They have an awesome online store, and ship rather quickly. The link is in the notes!😊

I am going to Ireland in a few weeks and was wondering if you found any nice yarn stores on your trip?

[@thissecondhalfadventure]

Sad to say, Connie, but with TH-cam shooting taking priority the only wool I got to see were the skeins they sold at the Aran Sweater Market. ☹️ Unless of course you count all the sheep all over the roads…😂
