After spending a few very pleasant hours at Ganondagan last Sunday, when I arrived home, the kids had made plans to meet some of their friends in Naples. Mark asked if I wanted to ride along. At first, I was reluctant. I was kind of tired after spending time walking around a good part of the day. When Mark mentioned he wanted to take me for a ride into the hills, well, how could I resist?
While at Ganondagan, there were many activities going on throughout the entire day. It would have been easy to spend countless hours just wandering and absorbing everything! So much to see. So much to do!
We spent some time watching Native American dance and let me tell you,some of it was rather lively! I am not going to elaborate, as the photos speak for themselves! Not all of the photos feature people dancing, but I wanted to show the beautiful vibrant colors of the costumes. They were so gorgeous!
I mentioned in my previous entry that Carly, Jeff, Sarah, Erin, and I went for a walk while visiting Ganondagan. Our walk actually began when we went along a path to the Longhouse.
Of course we had to take a look inside! The first photo is of the “ceiling” structure, looking up!
There are signs located all throughout the park. Many explain how Native Americans used various elements found in nature. I am posting a few of the signs I thought were interesting.
Following are some random photos taken while on our walk. What an awesome place Ganondagan is…it is as though with just a little imagination, one can be whisked back to another place, another time.
As though to lend just a bit of an air of authenticity, a Great Blue Heron flew overhead! There was also a hawk hovering nearby, but I didn’t get a good photo.
Ganondagan…a really interesting and very wonderful place to visit!
