Friday Sept. 23, 2011, the first day of Fall. What a perfect day to visit a Pilgrim village so we drove to Plymouth, MA to “Plimoth Plantation” This was a really nice recreation of the life in 1620’s when the Puritan’s of England came to America. 
Of course the Puritan’s had chickens and Verne followed a rooster to get a good view. We saw the assembly hall/fort with cannons. We drove a little farther to the ocean area where the “rock” is. Of course it is the rock where their ship “Mayflower” landed. We went on board and talked with the crew. 
Well here is our last Lobster meal. What, “2”? I think Verne over did it by “1”. Can you have too much lobster? YES, says Verne. 
Back on the road to Salem, MA to “The house of the Seven Gables” This was the house Nathaniel Hawthorn wrote about. He authored the book even though he did not live in this house his cousin did and she told him the history of the house which was built in 1668. I guess he liked the story and he wrote this beloved book in 1851.
We had a fabulous tour of the house and also the house he was born in which was moved to this property from another location down the street. Laurie and I had another …
“literary moment”.

I cant blame dad for chasing the rooster, he is beautiful!! I love all the old rustic buildings and clolthing you see the people wearing. That looks like a very cool place to visit.
The rooster is so cool. I love the history sounds really interesting.
