We left Killarney very early in the morning in order to make it to Galway and the St. Nicholas Collegiate Church that was to be the site of the Vow Renewal. We got there in plenty of time, but we're unaware that there was a market on Saturdays around the church.
The ceremony was very sweet, and I must say that it was surreal to watch them say their vows to each other again 46 years later. Considering how their first ceremony went, this was a little more official, at least as far as the church is concerned. My folks have, as far as I have ever witnessed, always been devoted to each other. Theirs is the best example of a solid marriage I can think of.
Afterwards we walked around Galway, checking out the crowds that were there for the weekend market. We left and headed to Doolin to check out the Cliffs of Moher. Doolin is a small but interesting little town that has a lot of great live music at night. The cliffs are amazing, but I suggest taking a short one hour cruise to see them from the bottom. The waters can get choppy, and one passenger lost his lunch, but the view was amazing. Puffins galore, and great views.
We ate dinner at McDermott's in Doolin, watched a little of a rugby match, and called it a day, crashing in a local B&B. Tomorrow is somewhat of a free day, but the dinner is going to be a medieval affair.
Tell your parents Congratulations on their vow renewal and continual love for one another!!!
