Travis and Tara's New England Adventure
March 22 - 30, 2002



Thursday morning was bright and sunny, and Travis and Tara were excited about setting out to see Cape Cod (and the eastern edge of the world).


the shrine of Plymouth Rock
The Mayflower's Descendant
This Shrine encloses a rock brought down from higher ground with 1620 stamped on it (sometime in the 1900s), commemorating Plymouth Landing.
Here are Travis and Tara watching someone take their picture, standing in front of  a replica of the Mayflower.


 
Plymouth Street
The streets were all pretty and quaint. Tara found them most appealing.

Tara selected a shot glass with Pilgrims on it from one of the many gift shops, thinking it was an interesting vessel to be gold-plated with Puritans.



The lighthouse far away
When we arrived in Provincetown or Plymouth Landing (after a lovely drive, and an excellent lunch - Tara had more crabcakes), we found this lighthouse way off in the distance. Tara had the bright idea of walking out to it, along a Jetty. Several miles later, Tara thought this wasn't such a good idea, although she did get to another edge of the world.

Here is a different light house, which we saw on our way back.

satisfaction guaranteed
Some golfers were enjoying the afternoon.
This guarantee made Tara and Travis smile.



Travis and Tara had a lovely Italian dinner in Buzzard's Bay before returning to a final night at Rusty & Wendy's.
