Plymouth, MA

After skirting Boston we couldn't resist stopping to pay homage to the Plymouth rock with all of the other tourists. It is a fun little busy tourist area but I wonder if any of it is more than a reproduction. The reproduction of the Mayflower certainly made us wonder how anyone crossed the ocean in a ship like that so long ago.



We had a nice walk through town to the oldest house still in existence built in 1640.


This is supposed to be the rock where the pilgrims landed in 1620. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the fact. It is stamped with 1620 on the top.

Even if it isn't the real rock, what rock ever had a better shrine built over it?

We could have toured the boat and visited several other historical sites but afternoon often finds us tired and not so eager! But we were eager to get to Cape Cod.

Ahh, the land of roundabouts...now which way do we go?
