Irish Monuments
I found this great video on my friend Ancient Digger’s site.Please click the link to enjoy the Video.Happy Saint Patricks day to one and all.
here is what was posted with the video.It’s only a day before the green beer and the funny jigs start taking over the streets. Yes, it’s time for Saint Paddy’s Day. The day should be filled with cheer and shared with your closest friends, and maybe that one strange guy sitting by himself in the corner-just kidding.
So to honor the heritage, culture, and the archaeology of the Irish, I found an educational video by National Geographic about the Irish monuments and how they are slowly diminishing because of notoriously damp weather in Ireland.
So, although you may be celebrating the culture of Ireland on one of the happiest times of the year, you also need to take notice that the culture and history needs to be preserved. As a great lover of fortifications, it breaks my heart that some of the most historical and breathtaking sites in Ireland might not be around long enough for me to see them.
ERIN GO BAUGH!!

Thanks, Mike, for pointing out the video. As one who once chaired an historic preservation commission, I well understand the problem and the lack of inexpensive solutions. Happy St. Paddy's day to ye, me friend!
I don't know if it would really count as being Irish, but \”Remember This\” by WhiteHeart sure sounds that way to me. I hope you like it as much as I do.http://asthecrackerheadcrumbles.blogspot.com/2010/03/whiteheart-wednesday_17.html
