Another Trip to Ireland

I traveled to Galway and Dublin, Ireland last March for business. As is the case most of the time, it was cold, wet, and windy. We stayed in a way too modern hotel called simply the "G."

The hotel was actually the first attempt at interior design for a former hat designer. ...yes I said hats. in the end, the hotel ended up being the most most fun part of the trip. : )

If you look very closely, you will see this image is actually a self portrait (click to enlarge). ↓




They had this marvellously pink bar area. When I mean pink, this image really doesn't do it full justice. : )



Most of the walls we very dark and the upper hallways were peppered with these fairly large chairs sitting in odd places along the hallway to our rooms. ↓



The dinning area too was really quite colorful. ↓


Another self portrait. This time in the "blue" bar. ↓


Every fancy hotel must have odd art work that no one else would ever really buy. ↓


I also took a bit of a walk around Galway. The remaining are a few of the images I captured. ↓
