In Galway, there is a long promenade that runs alongside the beach. On nice days, people will walk along the promenade until it dead-ends at a wall, then they supposedly "kick" the wall, turn around, and walk back. They call this whole activity, "kicking the wall."
When I woke up this morning, the sun was shining so brightly through my window that I decided it was a good day to take a break fron studying and go out and kick the wall. It was a perfect day for a walk by the beach and everyone was out with their friends, families, and dogs. I didn't see anyone actually kicking any walls (though there were plenty available) but I did see some crazy people swimming in the freezing bay! I'm starting to realize that nice days are a pretty rare commodity around here so I'm glad that I got out to enjoy one before they run out.
For some reason, the photos did not show up on the blog itself, just two small grey boxes. But if you click on the boxes, you'll get to see the photos. Looks like a beautiful day - glad you were able to get out and enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Em. It doesn't quite look like the way we dress when we go to visit the beach, does it? Kicking the wall? Hmmm. Interesting! Glad that you were able to enjoy the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to meet us in Edinburgh in two weeks? We'll be there on the 18th.
I wish I could meet up with you but I will actually be in Norwich for a friend's birthday! I will be going to Edinburgh around Thanksgiving though so let me know if there's anything in particular I should see and have fun!
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you, but I'll let you know what we enjoyed. Have fun in Norwich.
