Plymouth Part 2

Our bed and breakfast was right in the center of all the places you'd want to see if you visit Plymouth. The only place we did not go is the Plantation. Every place we went was within walking distance. We started out by Plymouth Rock.






Then we walked along the shore and saw various monuments.


 The Day of Mourning was actually a perspective I'd never thought about.


This is William Bradford, first governor of Plymouth.


Then our journey brought us to a nice walk through a park.

 It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed this place a lot. As we got closer to the end of the walk it came to a pond. It seems there were fish, herring, trying to get up to that pond. As we got closer to where the river met the pond it was full of fish. It was amazing! And they had to get up this ladder-like structure to get to the pond. It was crazy to see them struggle and fight so hard to get up it. I took some video but you can't tell really what you're looking at unless someone explains it. It was better in person.



Then we went to a little shop called the Sparrow House. It had all kinds of local art for sale. From jewelry to purses to mirrors and decor. I love shops like that, and this one was awesome. If I had a ton of money I'd spend it at a place like that.

After that we went up to the cemetery, which we were told had a great view of Plymouth. Which it did, it was worth the walk up the hill. It wasn't a tough hill, just being pregnant and carrying a backpack it was hard to keep my heart rate down.



and here we are sitting on a bench contemplating life. Graveyards have that affect on you I think.


Later we went back to our BnB and took a nap. That was awesome! And for dinner what we did was we tried 5 different restaurants and got an appetizer at each place. The next post is my review of those places. We had so much fun doing that! We rarely go out to eat so this was a treat for us. It was nice to be with my husband, we have fun together. And we both like good food so we really enjoyed ourselves.
