MAYFLOWER AND PLYMOUTH ROCK by Glenn

After going to the plimouth plantation we took the bus to go to the mayflower II. There we could visit the reconstruction of the first ship that settled on new England.
It was certainly hard to survive on that little ship with around a hundred people but they had no choice as they were running away from religious persecution. They had mostly just beer to drink and bad food to eat. They were supposed to go to Virginia but they ended up in Massachusetts where it was cold. So many of them died during the winter.
We could visit every floor of the ship and there where people in costumes that talked about the ship and the living conditions of the people who were in the ship.
The mayflower first landed on the plymouth rock on which the settlers wrote the year of their arriving in new England: 1620.
We were able to see the rock too. It was in a pit and around it were columns.
Then we took the bus to go home.
