From Provincetown to Plymouth, MA







We are having a wonderful time here on the very most east coast of the United States.
We visited Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod, which is a long sandy peninsula curling itself out into the Atlantic. Here we ate lobster in a small cafe by the harbour.The sunset photo shows the tower which is a memorial built in granite in memory of the Pilgrim -Fathers, who arrived on the good ship The Mayflower, in 1620.
They did not like it, so off they went and settled in Plymouth across the bay. David is reading about the Mayflower just now, so we are in their 'footsteps', and went whale- watching on the way across the bay. The one on the photo is a Right Whale, an endangered species, which has its habitat in the Boston Bay, which we crossed. She' blew out' right in front of the boat less than 20 yards away. Fantastic!!
