Day 33 - Continued

Busy day.  We started out about 8am, only half an hour to Plymouth.   They have a replica of the Mayflower docked.

This is supposedly the beach that the pilgrims landed on in their dingy.  Who am I to doubt that.

And they stepped off onto 'this' rock.   Actually a replica.  The original rock was either warn down from tourists stepping on it to get their photo taken, or its sitting in the Smithsonian.

Nice dingy.   This is actually the little memorial house where the fake rock resides.  I guess it is dead as the tomb seems to indicate.  I'm not being to cynical I hope, this stuff is really very cool to me.

Wouldn't you know it, no butter.

We are going to Gloucester and Portland, Maine next Tuesday and Martha plans to indulge in a Maine Lobster while I have my sights on some Atlantic Salmon.

The houses are all really cool.  The bays and inlets and marinas are awesome as well.  We left Plymouth and drove 45 minutes onto Cape Cod and into Hyannis Port.

From Hyannis Port we took two cruises.   The first was an hours tour of the area by water passing the 'Old Money' houses on the beach.

Including the Kennedy Compound.

The sloop in the foreground is Ted Kennedy's.  The Chris Craft Yacht looks like the one that I have seen pictures of JFK and family on prior to being President.   When he was President, he was not allowed to come to the compound the tour guide said, for security reasons.

Back in Hyannis Port we had lunch marina side.  What else?  New England Clam Chowder.

Then we took another ship for the one hour cruise to Martha's Vineyard.

Martha, Martha, Martha.   Everything is Martha.  Lady Martha was the name of the vessel we took.

There was another boat named 'Bad Martha', but that didn't apply so I didn't post it.

Even the ice cream shop, was Martha.

Before leaving we enjoyed a shared plate of fish and chips.  

We left Martha's Vineyard at 6:45 pm and the hour cruise back to Hyannis Port was at sunset.

Awesome sunset and worth the trip even though we had to drive the hours trip back to the trailer in the dark.  Got home just after 9 pm.  Today, it is now Saturday, we are going into Boston for the day.
