[Ag-eq] Sheep

[Tracy Carcione]

Susan, you should!  We went to Galway last year, and it was our favorite
place.  The town center is full of pubs with the traditional music I love,
and the park in the center has lots of people strolling, making music, and
having fun.  Galway is also known for those beautiful knitted fisherman's
sweaters.  And you can take public transit right to the beach.

Oh what a wonderful sounding trip.  I would love to go to Galway on
the western coast.
