Our hard works' reward came today as we left on the big yellow bus to go to the Plimouth Plantation, a living museum depicting life at the original colony from 1620. The lives of the native Wompanoag people and the original colony are on display. We had lunch at the welcome center and then went on to see the Mayflower II, the replica ship built in 1957, freshly rehabbed and just brought back into port last week. Like the Plimouth Colony, the ship also is staffed by docents that stay in character. Our group posed lots of questions and we had a real good laugh.
We left on our bus for the ride back into Boston, tired and somewhat sad knowing our adventure was coming to an end. Senior night awaits as of this writing, a farewell to our oldest members. They will be off next year to schools and adventures. Gone but always members of our community. Always.
Saturday brings travel and home, home cooking and our own bed. While we are secure at homes with our families we can't help but think back to the friends we have met and thepersonal challenges that we have overcome. The Agape we offered and our Ministry of Presence had made this trip to Boston special.
