We're just outside Galway City near Moycullen. It's rural, but close enough to everywhere we need and I'm only a five minute drive from my parents house where I grew up.
Sorry to hear about your friend nit making it through the first lockdown, that's really sad.
I love that you were renting from a 97 year old man and I'm sure your company was great for him too.
Sounds like Mexico is treating you well anyways, happy days.
