At the beginning of August my old friend Elizabeth who now lives in Texas came to visit with her family. We spent a rainy day at Plimoth Plantation; my first visit. It was great! I can't wait to go back when the kids have a longer attention span (or I can sneak off without them). Although they look enraptured in the picture above, it didn't last for long. One of my favorite things was the sign near the Wampanoag Homesite, instructing visitors to be respectful and avoid "war whooping", saying "How!" as a greeting, or referring to the staff as "brave", "chief", or "squaw". I guess I just can't imagine doing any of those things.
