Ireland The Emerald Isle
Ireland - Irish "Erie" a western country of Europe and is the far most west of the British Isles.
Ireland's fantastic beauty stems from a magnificent Atlantic coastline and the vast
hues of green grasslands and hills of the geography, giving Ireland the
Emerald Isle name. The location of Ireland has kept it rich in folklore, culture, traditions,
and language. Ireland is known for it's Gaelic language and the beauty of it
when sung. The tales of fairies, leprechauns, and the Patron Saint, Patrick, who
ridded the island of snakes, still fascinate people today!

Ireland Shouldn't Be Missed
To sum it up Ireland is a beautiful place to live and visit. If you ever get
the chance, do visit there. We don't live there, but have been there when we
lived for a short time in England. Since you can't make it there in
the immediate future then have a look around to get to know a wee bit of
Irish ways, especially if you are Irish by decent and want to learn about
your past heritage. Or maybe you are just looking to decorate for St.
Patrick's Day, that is fine also.
