Downtown Plymouth

Cole's Hill

Massasoit statue at the top of the hill


Aaaand here we are at {making airquote gesture with fingers} "Plymouth Rock".  Sorry for the airquotes but seriously, this is the most anticlimactic historical monument ever.  I always like to glance around at the tourists just to see what their reactions are when they first lay eyes on the famous and fabled Plymouth Rock.  So far I have yet to hear anyone actually say, 'That's IT?  You have GOT to be KIDDING me!'  

Mayflower II and a whale watch ship behind it.




Souvenir shops.  (I like the shops up on Main Street better but I didn't go up there).





Canopy over the rock





Seriously....the place reminds me a lot of Victoria

This odd looking wood carving is located at the service plaza on Exit 5, off Rte. 3.  It's called Enisketomp and was placed there in 1983.  I have always thought it was pretty damn ugly & hoped that it would be removed, but here it sits, 31 years later.
