Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Found this neat site today. It is an online game called "Jamestown Online Adventure."
From the website:

You are the Captain of the Jamestown Colony:
Can you do any better than the real colonists? You will have a copy of the London Company's Instructions to help guide you. Also, you can ask your fellow colonists and the Native Americans for advice. Be careful, though, because some advice is better than others!

Scoring Factors:
After you make all your decisions, you will receive a report on the state of your colony based on these factors:

    * Food: How well can you provide it for your colonists?
    * Health: Can you keep your colonists from dying due to disease, starvation, and attacks?
    * Wealth: Can you make yourself and your sponsors at the London Company rich from the discovery of gold and silver?
    * Morale: Can you keep yourself in power by keeping everyone happy?

You will get to compare your colony to the historical Jamestown at the end. By examining the "Now we know..." section, you can learn from the mistakes of history so you do not repeat them when you play again.

Sound like fun?

Ah, thank you! I was surfing around last night to find something to compliment the recent journey back in time to Jamestown. Then I got sidetracked.

This looks like it will fit the bill perfectly!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
