M y dad and I are standing in front of the Mayflower II. I'm wearing Timberland boots, a Columbia rain jacket and oversized baggy jeans--not ideal for summer weather in New England. I was a 16 year-old touring the Plymouth plantation in the summer heat with my family. We were an undocumented family of Indian immigrants from Queens, NY learning about the early settlers/European immigrants to this country. The irony!
