It's amazing to think that we are on a bus and I have internet. We have MiFi devices so that we can blog. We just left Boston at 7:00 am and we are off to Hyde Park, NY to visit the FDR's home and museum. Then on to Philly tonight. Yesterday's highlight was the Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, MA. They had a re-creation of a Wampanoag village and an English settlement village of the 1620's. Exploring the Mayflower II, which is an exact replica of the original ship was amazing. How they packed 102 people on that ship I'll never know. They only lost one passenger along the way and that was an 8 year old boy from a high fever. We saw the passenger compartments which were very musty. I got some great pics of Plymouth Rock, and we enjoyed a seafood dinner at Isaacs's in Plymouth. I noticed that many of the homes that faced the ocean had a "widow's walk," which was a fenced in landing on the roof of the home where the women would climb up to watch their husband's ship come into port. They went up to the widow's walk to hope and pray that their husbands returned from sea and that they would not be a widow. More pics and blogging in Philadelphia.
