Mary Allerton Interview
I am a saint. I wanted religious freedom. I lived in the city, Leyden. Sundays were not observed in the Netherlands. I also started speaking Dutch. My parents said we should move to a different place where we could worship God.
 * Tell us about your life in England or the Netherlands.**

I decided to go on the mayflower because my parents made me go with them.** It was very crowded. The food had bugs in it and we ran out of water, So I had to drink beer It was very flat .I got bored really fast I had to sleep on the floor with straw as a mattress. We couldn’t take baths or showers, so it smelt so bad. There was a storm; it was very loud and scary. I couldn’t sleep.
