The past two days have been incredibly beautiful days, especially for winter in Ireland. I walked down along the coast for a couple hours today, and a couple hours yesterday. With any luck the weather will be as nice tomorrow and the walk can be repeated.None of the Irish students have begun arriving back for the resuming of courses - which occurs Monday - and I'm guessing it won't be until Sunday night that they begin coming in. In the
mean time it's just the American and Erasmus students. With so few people the internet connection is fantastic, and I can download and upload and load in general well.And now for one of my favorite types of photographs - the interesting ones! One of my favorite places in Galway is the beach at low tide, when you can see all of the water-tracks. They're fascinating AND fun to play with (it's so much fun damming up the ones that still have water in them). It's also fun to play the identification game - basically where you go around and identify the different kelps washed up, or in some cases still living but exposed due to the low tide.
I have finally developed a tentative schedule of classes - I have decided to take Plants and the Environment, Sediments and the Biosphere, Imagining modern Ireland: An Introduction to Irish culture studies, and either hydrology or Intro to GIS. I think I might enjoy all of my classes this semester!

I used to make little water dams when I was a kid, too. I didn't do it on the beach, though, I did it in the gutter after it rained.
