Little Trips

Galway

Tom and Clara are friends. They live in Dublin and they love travelling. Every month they take a little trip. This weekend they are going to Galway, on the west coast of Ireland. The train is fast and comfortable. Clara reads a book. Tom looks out of the window. He sees green fields, stone walls and a lot of sheep. Galway is small and colourful. The streets are full of people. On Shop Street a man is playing the violin. A girl is singing. Tom gives them two euros. In the evening they go to a pub. The pub is old and warm. There is traditional Irish music. One man plays the guitar, one woman plays the flute and an old man plays a small drum. People clap and sing. “Do you want to dance?” asks Clara. “I can't dance,” says Tom. “Nobody here can dance,” says Clara. “Look!” Tom looks. She is right. So they dance too.
