HAD ADAM AND EVE BEEN IRISH

They say in Ireland that if Adam and Eve had been Irish there would have been no necessity to employ an angel with a fiery sword to keep them out of the Garden of Eden, for they would have booked passage at once for old Ireland, and kept away from Eden forever. Of course, every country would like to say that, but it is noteworthy that the Irish are the only ones that do. They are enthusiastic about their lovely little island. From the Giant's Causeway to Blarney Castle, from beautiful Wicklow to the Lakes of Killarney, from Cashel of the Kings to the Pagan and Christian attractions on the Aran islands, Ireland's full of excursions to fill a summer. The way to "do" Europe is to visit one country at a time each season, and Ireland is the first on the map. Of course, if the Garden of Eden had been in Ireland, the whole world would have "lived happy ever after," for there are no snakes in Ireland to tempt the innocent.
