We make the drive way out and around Boston and set up in Plymouth, MA.
Time to visit John's Pilgrim ancestors.
A visit to Plimoth Plantation takes us back to the 17th Century.
This is a recreated village with folks walking around that really do a good job of playing their parts. No responses to current day questions at all!
Then to take a look at Plymouth Rock.Not much to look at ....
The Mayflower II was better. It was built in England and actually sailed across the Atlantic along a similar route of the original ship.
The old Plymouth Grist Mill was actually a pretty good tour.
And the Pilgrim Hall Museum had lots of the original possessions from the Pilgrims.
Lot's of John's ancestors are buried here.
It was interesting to walk among the really really old stones
On our final day in these parts we made the drive to Provincetown all the way out on the tip of Cape Cod. Pretty much just a tourist town but it was interesting and now we've been there.
We also visited the Cape Cod National Seashore run by the National Park Service - a whole lot of protected sand dunes.
But at the Highland Coast Guard Beach we were finally able to locate a nice sandy public beach
