400th Anniversary of the Voyage of the Mayflower -- September 19, 2019

Monday I went to Good Shepherd School in Pacifica and talked to Junior High kids about the "400th Anniversary of the Voyage of the Mayflower." They are participating in a DAR essay contest on the subject. I talked about how the Mayflower and the Pilgrims were not very important in US history but became a major cliché in the 19th and 20th Centuries. I talked about how the kids should think about their senses when they write their essays, especially smell. It was fun, and they asked good questions. After, I was very tired.
