jamestown settlement

On our way to the airport, Lexey and I went to the Jamestown settlement. It was a really great place.

A full scale replica of the boat settlers came over from Europe on.

We also  got to see powhatan-village. It was quite amazing.   Lexey learned to braid. 

admired the animal skins!

and mashed corn outside a house. Their houses were really impressive. In my opinion, more impressive than the settlers homes. Of course the Indians were experts with the land while the settlers would have been brand new and not known how to use the raw materials as well.

Beautiful view out the window on our flight home.
