Plymouth and Cape Cod

Yes, this is really Plymouth Rock!

This is the Mayflower and it is REALLY small!!!

Cute guy on the Mayflower.

Below deck on the Mayflower. The Mayflower was a cargo ship and the cargo for this voyage was 103 people. They stayed below deck in this space, wall to wall, with pallets on the floor at night.

Those who were wealthy enough to afford wood could build a shelf bed in the hold. Not great quarters and no privacy!

This is below deck also.

Period actors were on the ship. They did a really good job.

Howard coming down the gangplank. It was a really small ship.

This was in the Hiannas harbour. It is a lobster boat and was used on a TV show about lobster fishing.

This is the Chase Mansion. They own the whole point of land that this "house" is on.

If you look really hard you can see the mansion from the above picture. It really shows the extent of the land they own.

The is Hiannas Port where the Kennedy compound is located. The house middle left is Ted Kennedy's house, right next to it and a bit behind is JFK's house and clear over on the left hand side is the Shriver house.

Close up of Ted Kennedy's house.

As close as you can get of JFK's house.

This house is owned by the guy who owns the Gap, Banana Republic and a few other stores. Keep shopping girls!

The Shriver house is on the left side of the picture.

This is a small inn right across the street from the Sandwich Glass Museum.

The majority of the glass made in the world was made in Sandwich for many years. The musuem was really cool. We thought these glass pens were pretty cool and the ink well is really fancy!

How would you like a glass cane? Wow, pretty cool stuff. Tomorrow we head into Boston. I'm charging my camera and we'll try to take lots of pictures.
