For Spring Break, my family and I traveled to Virginia to visit historic sites in Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown. It was amazing!
My favorite activity was touring the site of the original Jamestown settlement. It was sobering to think how those people suffered. As I visited the Jamestown museum later that afternoon, I learned that many of them resorted to cannibalism. The museum displayed actual skeletal remains of a fourteen year old girl who had died. According to the marks on her skull, historians believe she was a victim of this cruelty.
Williamsburg was also a lot of fun. It had a lot of great restaurants. The picture above shows a Caesar salad I ordered (without anchovies). It wasn't as I expected, but it was delicious!
If you are into history, I would definitely recommend that area.
Kim,
ReplyDeleteYour spring break trip sounds like it was so fun! I'm glad you got to go with your family and enjoy Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown. Historically, it's scary to think that people resorted to cannibalism and that it was common. It's sad that you had to see that in a museum, but did it give you a better perspective of what that time period was like? The caesar salad looks delicious too!
Great post Kim!
Gracias Carlen.
DeleteJamestown es uno de mis lugares favoritos. Esa ensalada es muy pequeña, por eso hubo canibales en ese lugar :) jaja
