Galway is a city in Ireland. It is in the West Region and the province of Connacht. Galway City Council is the local authority for the city. Galway lies on the River Corrib between Lough Corrib and Galway Bay and is surrounded by County Galway.
The popular song "Galway Girl" or "The Galway Girl" is a song written by Steve Earle and recorded with Irish musician Sharon Shannon, which was featured on Earle's 2000 album Transcendental Blues.
A cover version of the song by Mundy and Shannon reached number one and became the most downloaded song of 2008 in Ireland.
"Galway Girl" tells the semi-autobiographical story of the singer's reaction to a beautiful black haired blue eyed girl he meets in Galway, Ireland. Local references include Salthill and The Long Walk.
Lots of people believe that Galway people have black or very dark hair due to the fact that many spaniards landed there (or were shipwrecked) at the time of the Spanish armada.
Galway is also home to The Spanish Arch which was originally an extension of the city wall from Martin's Tower to the bank of the Corrib, as a measure to protect the city's quays, which were located in the area once known as the Fish Market (now Spanish Parade). It was constructed during the mayoralty of Wylliam Martin in 1584, being called ceann an bhalla (the head of the wall).

Ovunque sulla terra esistono tracce di civiltà in grado di compiere opere tecnicamente più evolute di quelle che possiamo realizzare noi oggi. L'archeologia ufficiale le attribuisce a popoli che, anche agli occhi dei meno smaliziati, non potevano essere in grado di concepirle e di realizzarle. Ma allora chi le ha fatte? Per rispondere a questa domanda, forse, basterebbe analizzare tanti indizi del passato con occhi privi di preconcetti ed è ciò che ha fatto Erik Von Daniken. Viaggiando attaverso tutte le antiche civilità della Terra, studiando testi sacri come la Bibbia ed analizzando le religioni del passato scopriremo la verità che si trova proprio davanti ai nostri occhi.

On October 7, 2013 about 80 people joined in AFSC’s monthly vigil at the GEO run ICE immigration detention facility. Three families, each affected in different ways shared their sadness, frustration and gratitude with those gathered. Jeanette Vizguerra, having once been detained there, shared her gratitude for community support and diligence. Silvia, her son currently detained in the facility, shared her sadness at being brutally separated from him. And Genevieve, her step father currently detained there, for over 11 months, waiting to receive news regarding his U Visa application, shared her frustration at the lack of humanity in the prolonged wait. Those present included Regis University, University of Colorado at Denver and Metropolitan State University students, trying to make sense of our broken immigration system. They joined in as clergy, Rev. Anne Dunlap, led prayer with the community.
