Part a.

Mom you’ve travel alot tell me about an archaeological site that you’ve visited and found fascinating.

Well Patrick when I was younger I traveled to Ireland to visit some ancient burial tombs were peoples bodies where put after they died. This one it’s really amazing it is a huge round earth covered stone structur,e the stones around the base are white and they reflect light. Ancient people might’ve used it to send messages to gods of some kind. How old is it. Probably about 5000 years old. It was also used as a place to bury the dead and to note the change of the seasons. What’s it called? NewGrange maybe we could go there together someday, you know after you out of school.
