Plimoth Plantation

 We visited Plimoth Plantation (that's how it is spelled) to learn about the early colonists.  They had recreated a settlement from the 1600's with people acting/speaking/dressing like they would have in that time period.  They had also recreated what an early Indian settlement would have looked like.  The people there were dressed as they would have in that time period (it was really hot so they weren't wearing much) but they spoke to us as they would normally.  They were trying really hard to disspell common myths about the Native Americans and the settlers and how they dealt with each other.  It was a really fun and educational place to visit.

We also visited  Plymouth Rock.  Plymouth Rock itself is very small.....
We visited a replica of the Mayflower in the Harbor. Over 120 people in the bottom of the ship with animals and furniture, sailing over from Europe in the beginning of winter.  It's amazing that they made it here!
