The rain continued to fall when we returned to where we were staying in Galway, but we decided to walk around anyway since we were leaving the city the next day. Fortunately there were many shops and pubs to duck into when the rain got too heavy and it was fun to sit and have a drink and a bite to eat while we waited for the rain to let up. We passed Lynch's Castle on Shop Street, which is one of Galway's best preserved ancient buildings and has since been converted into a branch of Allied Irish Banks.
Linking to signs, signs.

When I was young, I used to enjoy walking in the rain without an umbrella. Some called me crazy but I love the feel of the rain in my face. Those were the crazy days. We are also going through rainy days here and these days, I prefer to stay home when it rains so as not to get wet. What a difference from those days. Have a great day!
Belas fotografias e gostei do bar é muito simpático e acolhedor.
Um abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

Yes that rain is terrible, it makes everything so cold. But the pubs are very nice indeed, Ïrish coffee, mmmmm.
...a pub is a great place on a rainy day!
all of these are so pretty, I love the stone buildings and the insides to thepubs are so beautiful...
Rain there looks perfectly natural. Great photos.
I've been watching a TV show set in Galway and it looks so wonderful as do your pics, Lois!
I love the decorative touches in the pubs...and thanks for telling us what the initials for the bank were!
This place looks welcoming.
Love that oozing history
Well you do expect rain on the Green Isle. Neat shots and I like the lamp fixture.

Oh, I looove rain!
The stairs look just like in a pub (that sadly since a year does not exist anymore) in Perth!
Right, rain is also a great excuse to go into a pub :-)
Hi Lois. I have enjoyed catching up and loved your Ireland trip so far! It looks great there, even in the rain. I am so glad your broken leg healed well ... and in time for your trip. Look forward to seeing more of it.
A sunny spell would have been nice instead of the rain which is normal and seems like it will never end. I love that sign ten to one it's Guinness Time. Lovely photos Lois.
Nice shots. I love seeing Galway in other people's lenses, because I know I only had two eyes and couldn't cover all the nooks and crannies of this charming city.
My SIGNS, SIGNS
Except for the heat, it feels a little like Galway here.
" Fortunately there were many shops and pubs to duck into when the rain got too heavy and it was fun to sit and have a drink and a bite to eat while we waited for the rain to let up."
Yes, that's what I would have done too!
All the best Jan
Wonderful! It is so cool to see the old buildings, both inside and out. Gorgeous woodworking inside, and even the ceilings and lighting! It is like another era!
Galway is a fun city and it shows by your wonderful photos!
Happy Day to you,

Nice signs and pubs Lois.
This must be the Galway that Ed Sheran sings about in his "Galway girl" song :)
The Bunch of Grapes -- amusing. Nice photos one and all.
You can feel the atmosphere in your shots here Lois.. I'm glad you didn't let the rain put you off exploring on your last day, as long as it's not too heavy it can be fun ✨
Great looking city, you show its wonderful character in these photos. Even on a rainy day it looks marvelous.
