| We went to Plimoth Plantation to learn about colonial life. It was very fun and a good experience. We were wondering if the people there stayed "in character" even when there were no visitors around. After my group left one of the houses, my friend and I crept up to the window of the house and listened. We were surprised to find that they were still talking in an Engish accent. When my group went into a house we asked what this woman's favorite recipe was. She said she wasn't familiar with the word "recipe".
We went into a house where they were making a chimney, and we helped pull up clay for the chimney. This is a picture of the women carring thatching hay for the house.
There was a blacksmith shop in Plimoth, and when we were in it, John Alden came in and asked for his hoe. The blacksmith said " Your hoe isn't ready yet". John Alden got mad and said, " I'll be back in a half a bell." There was a huge air bellow that made extremely hot and huge flames.
We went down to where the Wampanoaug Indians were making a canoe by burning out the bottom of the tree. It takes over three months to make a canoe.
