A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN EARLY SETTLER

Feb 04, 2012

Hi everyone: Ian and I spent a fabulous day in a little place called Wormsloe. About 8 miles outside of Savannah. We went to the Wormsloe State Historic Site, where they were having a weekend long reinactment of life in the mid 1800's. It was incredibly interesting. Pictures will describe best what we were able to experience, so I'll get right to it...

MY NEW B.F.F.
I think I'll stick with just piercing my ears!

Native Americans
The relationship between the early settlers and the Yamacraw tribe was friendly and they lived peacefully, side by side.

SPANISH MOSS
This lady was cleaning the moss which has already spent 18 months drying, and will now be used to make mattresses and pillows.

FIRE STARTER
Ian thinks this is the greatest invention ever and wonders why we don't still use it!

CUTIE!
My favorite part of the whole day...seeing this little guy!
