点评:What a fascinating history lesson, expertly delivered by George!
How many times have I driven past the sign pointing to this cottage? Well today we stopped - expecting to be able to get just a quick peek through the window, and read the information boards.
But what followed was a full description of the cottage - dimensions, age, ownership, building style - details that made sense and helped to put the design and style of the building into context.
But then came the history of Andrew Jackson. Who knew? George explained how a family from just outside Carrick ended up in S Carolina, and ended up producing a president! Antrim seems to have produced a number of them!
I must admit I learned more in one afternoon than I would have believed possible. George was a fantastic guide, teacher and story teller. And so generous with his time (sorry we kept you late)
Brilliant experience!!!!!
翻译:乔治讲解得真精彩,这真是一堂引人入胜的历史课!
我开车路过这间小屋的路牌多少次了?今天我们停了下来——原本只是想匆匆瞥一眼,看看信息牌。
但接下来,乔治详细地介绍了小屋的方方面面——尺寸、年代、所有权、建筑风格——这些细节都清晰易懂,帮助我们理解了小屋的设计和风格。
然后,他讲起了安德鲁·杰克逊的历史。谁能想到呢?乔治解释说,卡里克郊外的一个家庭最终搬到了南卡罗来纳州,而且竟然还出了一位总统!安特里姆似乎孕育了不少总统!
我必须承认,一个下午我学到的东西远超我的想象。乔治是一位出色的导游、老师和故事讲述者。而且他非常慷慨地抽出时间(抱歉我们耽搁了您这么久)。
真是太棒了!!!!!
