Saturday morning at Galway and the day started with some good food.. Thanks to my louwly sis.. God Bless her..
And we were sitting around and thinking about how to spend the day.. Was nice and warm outside.. That is when we decide to go and check the Airshow and the Sailing competition at the Galway bay area, near Salt Hill..
When we got there there was already a HUGE crowd.. And the Red Arrows (UK) Air Display show started.. They were spectacular.. My uncle who has been to most of the air shows in B'lore felt that this was way too good compared to the ones in B'lore..
The Volvo Ocean Race is BIG.. Wonder why it did not draw half as much as attention when it had a stopover in Cochin(just found some news articles on search including a website that doesn't open).. :(

The Life Guard(In Red):

Wanted to live the 6th std 'Bay Watch' Dream.. Where I act as though I am drowning and have this wonderful life guard come and save me.. But with family around, tough to do that successfully.. :P
