A mid morning stop for coffee at Esquires Coffee
in Eyre Square.
These two menu items looked good to me but not so much to my husband and Sally. It was too early for lunch anyway.
The Eyre Square Hooker Sculpture (fountain) dominates the square.
The Galway hooker is a traditional fishing boat used in Galway Bay on the west coast of Ireland. The hooker was developed for the strong seas there.
It’s sail plan consists of a single mast with a main sail and two foresails.
Traditionally the boat is black (coated in pitch) and the sails are a dark red-brown.

We chose another that was very excellent. The Italian restaurants in Ireland seem to be very nice!
The River banks were full of beautiful flowers,
