Galena


We went to Galena this past weekend and we had a blast. It is a very cute town with a lot of historic buildings. Like a fairy tale pretty. They have all these unique shops with clothes, books, food actually anything you can think of. It is just one long street with shops but it can become an expensive one street. We stayed at the irish cottages and we were all impressed. They have a pub, spa, pool, gym and library in the hotel so lots to do when the weather is cold. The pub was very unique. It was a pub in Ireland that they broke down piece for piece and brought it to Galena and rebuild it. The food is typical irish and good tooo!!! In the evenings they have irish dancers and a singer. Arthur loved the dancers and the singer. ( That is the only way he would be still .) There were great restaurants and I have to say we did not have one bad meal.

( Just Deon who wanted his steak medium-rare and was not there when the waiter came and I ordered it medium. He still liked it but couldn't stop the next day by saying it would have been even better if it was medium -rare - MEN!!!!!)

Here are a few pictures:
