Day 8 Part 1


 The swimming pool area

 Here is the deck that is on the second floor of the hotel
 We also headed out for a tour of Plymouth

 Plymouth is very rustic with its' natural beauty
 The beginning of the industrial revolution in America
 This is right across the street from the hotel
 Ok I thought this was funny!  How would you like to mow this hill?

 This is William Bradford the first Governor of the Plymouth Colony

This is Massasoit, the leader of the Wampanoags Indians
 The little pillar thing at the top left encases the Plymouth Rock
 Totally cool Colonial house
 Over half of the original Pilgrims died during the first year



Just wanted to make sure I got this guy walking a med dog.
 Ok the S on this picture and the little hook thing in the corner of the picture below are to put the house back together so to speak after a storm blows through.   Seem it was how they used to tighten the beams again


I love how the flowers grew in the gutters of the streets

 One of the first churches in Plymouth.  It is now a museum, and Tonya and Danny got married here.
 Burial Hill Cemetery

 There are several burial plots dating back to the mid 1600's
 Very interesting tree, especially in a cemetery

 View of the Atlantic Ocean from the cemetery


 We should have written down some the names and dates of people in the cemetery but we didn't.  We spent a couple of hours (roughly) here and it was very interesting. 


 Ok I loved this too!  How cute!  Enlarge this picture and read the sign!



Houses built in the 1600's
 The Richard Sparrow House is an historic house in Plymouth, Massachusetts and the oldest surviving house in Plymouth. The house was built around 1640 by Richard Sparrow

I love the hotel! And the flowers growing in the gutter are pretty funny.
