re: You can travel back in time for only thirty minutes: where and when do you go?

1. The first Thanksgiving in 1621 where the Pilgrims and Indians broke bread together. The joining of two vastly different worlds drilled down to almost an exact moment.

2. Hiroshima, Japan right after the atom bomb was detonated would obviously be an awful site, but interesting from an observation standpoint.

3. Marco Polo meeting with Kublai Khan for the first time if you could understand what they were saying.

4. Observing a functioning slave plantation in the same small town where I grew up would be up there for me, but not for most people.

Hard to nail it down to one 30 minute period in all of history.
