Plymouth Rock (sort of)

We left the Plantation and drove few miles to the actual Plymouth Rock. Unfortunately my reference for Plymouth Rock comes from Schoolhouse Rock where the cartoon Mayflower bangs into a gigantic cliff called Plymouth Rock. The actual Plymouth Rock is, to say it kindly, underwhelming.

More entertaining is the statue up on the hill that overlooks the harbor where Plymouth Rock resides. It is Masasoit (sp?). He was the Chief of the local tribe. The statue depicts him with his peace pipe. In true 8th grade fashion we filled his pipe with a pink bouncy ball.
