Having set that straight it's time to explain. We went to the Plantation this morning as kind of the last event of out stay here. Tomorrow is just kick back and get ready to head to New York on Wednesday.
The plantation is a recreation of a 1620's village with the houses built as they would have been back in the Pilgrim's time. Materials and architecture are identical including dirt floors and open fireplaces for cooking and heat.
Actors in period dress are prevalent in the village. It's interesting to talk with them and find out what they are doing and get information about the daily life in the village. They are knowledgeable and will talk with you as long as you want.
There is also a Indian village in the complex with Indian dwellings and again actors to talk with. In all a couple of really interesting hours with lots of great information. This ends the blog for this area. Next stop is New York with a tour of Manhattan. So.....more from there I hope.
