What do you think? Would you go? If not, why not? Please leave a comment here or on my Outlandish Observations Facebook page.
I would love to for the adventure, but wouldn't leave my family behind. Also the more I've learned about the hideous diseases and unsanitary conditions of the time, the more I think I'm a lot safer reading and imagining!
yes, definitely
Yes I would.
No, I was a history teacher for many years and no matter the time in history, I always said that God knew when to put me. I would be a fly on the wall to witness historic events but not live in the time. Sanitation,disease,and lack of cleanliness would do me in.
