Galway Driveway








If you lived here, in the Irish countryside, you'd wake up to moody skies…

Galway










But would walk into town anyway

Sheridan's Cheesemongers

















You'd stop by your cheesemonger to pick up provisions for a picnic lunch. 

The Pie Maker in Galway










And maybe a savory pie or two

Galway Supermac's










Bypassing the grease of the Supermac's

Tight squeeze
















You'd drive out on thin roads and wouldn't be petrified, because you'd be used to driving on the left. 

Happy Irish Cows










You'd pass ridiculously happy cows. 

Castle

















And Shrek-style castles 

Irish Coast










You'd gape at all that rain-fed green grass.

Irish Grass

















And fight the temptation to run your fingers through it

Cliffs of Moher










You'd scope out picnic spots at the Cliffs of Moher.

Cliffs of Moher

















But, think better of it

Coast of Ireland










You'd finally find the perfect picnic spot.

Rock










And the perfect picnic rock

Rocky waves










But then the rainclouds would roll in, fierce and low, and the waves would spray salt on your savory pie.

Audi commercial










And, you'd have a nice lunch in your car.

Love it! That's the best picnic story ever! Except I'd go straight to Supermac's.
