Into Plimoth (Plymouth) and R&R - April 30th

Wandered up to "Plimoth" which is a recreation village of the settlement of Plymouth and surrounding areas, spelled in the most common spelling of the day. Great recreation - which includes both the Native American settlements, speaking in English so that we can ask them questions from their perspective, and also a very impressive settlement of the colonists. The colonists were all "in character" and played the part very accurately. Lots of little pieces of reality, such as a pot of "eel soup" being prepared (below).

After the initial rain wore off, we had a very nice couple of hours there, until D started melting down from lack of sleep. Had a Turkey Dinner, including Indian Pudding, then came back to the hotel, and all napped for a while, fixed a simple dinner in the room, and just laid low.

Tomorrow, off again - probably head up towards Maine to find us some lobster...
