Plymouth Massachusetts was a place we really wanted to go because you learn about it through all of American history. I have a mixed view of Plymouth and am not sure how I felt about visiting there. I am glad we went just so we know we did but it was not my favorite historical place to visit. That being said the cemetary was beautiful and it was fun seeing where some of Ryan's ancestors settled.

| Replica of the Mayflower |
This cemetary was beautiful and humblding thinking of all the suffering that came to those who died here. it was also the site of the first fort built in 1621. Most of the first settlers are buried here.

| Supposed Plymouth Rock. From the stories we hear in school this was some grand rock that lead the pilgrims to their destiny. But really this is just a rock that some settler said might have been here when the pilgrims arrived. |
Maybe we missed it but this is the only mention we saw of the Indians of whom the Pilgrims took this land from. I am glad that I read the book Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick but it definitely put a damper on my ideas of the Pilgrims, and Plymouth.
