The day we drove from Maine to Boston was bitter cold and stormy. The snow was chasing us down the coast. When we got settled in our RV site we headed over to see Plymouth Rock which was just down the street from where we were. It was so stormy! It didn't seem that bad until we stepped out of the car! We only stayed a couple of minutes. It was impossible to walk or see anything in that weather! We got soaked! The wind was blowing sideways! Nicolas thought it was fun. Boy was it cold and miserable! We high-tailed it back to our campground and hunkered down for the night with the heater on high!
The next day dawned bright and beautiful. And you saw the pictures of that day on our previous post in Boston.
The following day was just as pretty so we headed back to Plymouth for a few hours before moving on to Connecticut that day. So, these are the pictures of both the stormy nor'eastern day and the sunny calm day.
There it is . . . Plymouth Rock!
(It has some seaweed around it.
The tide can come up to it and it was
very stormy right then.)
Do you see that capsized boat to the right?
There was a "Nor'easter" blowing!
Doesn't Vasili look like he's having fun?!
Nicolas had to hide beside the building or
he would've been blown away!
(Do you see the smile on his face!)
This is a replica of the Mayflower
Plymouth Rock is enshrined behind me where
those columns are.
It was a much nicer day than before!!
This is Massasoit, the Indian Chief
Indians gather to this spot each Thanksgiving for a day of remembering
called "The Day of Mourning" ~ I guess not everyone is
happy that the Pilgrims came to the New World and Thanksgiving
isn't a day of celebration for them.
We weren't quite sure what we were posing
in front of, maybe city hall? ~ Anyway, it
looked important!
This is a statue of William Bradford, the 1st Governor
of the Puritans/Pilgrims of Plymouth.
This was a pretty park in honor of the pilgrim wives.
This was one of the first homes in Plymouth.
There's a spinning wheel in the backround.
