The Mayflower II in Plymouth harbor, a full scale sailworthy replica of the original Mayflower, celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007.

Not so visible historical artifact. The Plymouth Rock portico is being renovated, keeping the rock well hidden.
|
Here's a picture of Plymouth Rock along with its story (enlarge, please - then use magnifying glass).

Statue honors Wampanoag Indian chief Massatouit (please forgive me on that spelling). This tribe was essentially wiped out by diseases that settlers brought from Europe.

My family enjoyed the Provincetown beach.

Provincetown is a very diverse community, as reflected by the baby T-shirt logos, among more obvious ways.

Looking across the cove at Provincetown to the lighthouse on the very tip of Cape Cod.

Colorful kayaks await rental.

Kite apparently doubles as bottom half of inflatable man.

These pink roses were growing wild all over Cape Cod. Here's a cultivated patch at the UU Meeting House in Provincetown.

A gorgeous beach just down the Cape at Truro...

...includes a sand bar
|
And some spectacular dunes on the Cape - as heard in the "The Pina Colada Song".
