The Green Green Grass of Galway


What I loved most about Ireland was the seemingly endless greenery. Every chance I got I was sticking my head out the window to soak up some of that rich country air that is practically unattainable in London. To be fair Galway isn't the only place that had such beautiful landscapes but it fit the alliteration. I read this proverb somewhere in the country and had no idea it was an Irish one:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
