Oh...I'd better start saving my pennies. I'd love to go back and see that. My last (only) trip to Ireland was the week of 9/11. Next year would mark a decade. Seems like a fitting goal, doesn't it?
I saw the most wonderful artifacts in the Dublin Museum retrieved from the bogs -- bodies, weapons, gold bracelets and buckles, etc., all miraculously preserved. This psalter is a miracle that they could even open it. I remember when they found it. I read about it here, thanks to Sunken Civ and blam.
It sounds like a great idea for the trip, be sure to take a camera or camera-phone. :’)
