| Traitor! |
We went to Charles Towne Landing today. It was built by the Lords Proprietors and it was the first permanent European settlement. Charles Towne wasn’t built in the exact place were Charleston is today, because when the English built it they were afraid of being attacked by the Indians and the Spanish. They built Charles Towne near marshes, were they could defend it better. The English wanted to go to Charleston, because they could trade easier because the water was deeper than Charles Towne. Ten years later, in 1680 they moved it to where Charleston stands today, in South Carolina.

| The Adventure |
When we went there, we walked along the historical site. A man dressed in colonial clothes made some children and me haul up a sail on a model ship. Then we went on a real ship named the Adventure. It was a replica of an English trading vessel. After the historical site, we went to an animal site. We saw sea birds, elk, a bobcat, a puma, a bear, and deer. It was really fun going to Charles Towne Landing! I hope you will go there too!
