An English Traveler Journal

June 24, 1700

Dear Diary, 

It's been over three months since I been on this ship. My journey to the new world has been good. My old friend John Fair invited me to stay with his family in Plymouth. He said that he'll send someone to pick me up. I can't wait to see my old friend, even if John and I don't always get along. He's a Puritan. Puritan, which my opinion is fine. Even if sometimes we argue. I love my God. I am not religious like most people. I believe in the devil and demons but sometimes you just wanted to escape it for a while. Hopeful the ship docks soon.

Dear Diary, 

Finally!

After three months in this ship finally, LAND!!! I don't remember the last time I had a good night sleep. It's going to be a long journey to Plymouth. The smell of the sea and fresh cut wood was in the air. I decide to stay for a couple of days in this small town. To earn a couple of money for my traveler. I began to help a family with their livestock but, while I helping a young woman wear old fashion dress with curly black hair and green eyes was stare at me. Oddly there were blackbirds around her. Something about that girl gives me the creeps.

Dear Diary,

Soon I will leave this town to go to meet with my friend in Massachusetts Bay. I am quite excited I saw that girl again. I can't help myself she has this strange air around her. She has the face of an angel but something about her eyes. It's a good thing that I'm leaving tomorrow.
