Visiting Cape Cod |
  |
| On the way to Cape Cod from Boston, I stopped by Plymouth Rock. Largely known as the landing spot of the Pilgrims in southern Massachusetts in 1620, they were believed to have first stepped foot on Plymouth Rock as they disembarked their ship the Mayflower. Plymouth Rock can still be seen today, but many are disappointed by its small size. The rock itself is not beautiful or amazing, just very important to American history. On the top left you can see the building that houses Plymouth Rock today. On the right is the rock itself, marked with the date of the Pilgrims arrival in 1620. Below on the left is a replica of the Mayflower that was built in the mid 1950s. The tower is a memorial built to honor the Pilgrims and is located in Provincetown at the very end of Cape Cod. |

 These last surrounding photos are of Cape Cod where the Pilgrims landed in the southeastern part of the state. The two photos above are towards the end of the cape, the terrain there looked more like Texas than to what I had expected. Along the roads in Cape Cod are signs warning about high winds and blowing sand. On the left is a photo of the sunset in one of Cape Cod’s beaches. Because Cape Cod is a Peninsula, you can enjoy both sunrises and sunsets there. The bottom left is the moon rising above the trees in front of an American flag. The final picture to the bottom right is a lighthouse at night. |
