We’re in Plymouth, MA this evening. It’s cold and raining. There will be some areas nearby that will get snow tonight. We got the motor home spotted by 2:00 and headed downtown.
We visited Plymouth Rock, and I have to say I was a little disappointed. It is really quite small, about 6’ across. I expected something much larger, but over the years people have chipped away at it. Now there is a shelter built around it and people can’t get at it. We also went on the Mayflower II, a reproduction of the original.
We stopped at a seafood joint for lobster, and I’m beginning to think that lobster is overrated. I don’t think we really know how to get it out of the shell. Tomorrow I’m going to order crab or shrimp.
Today I was disappointed with Plymouth Rock, the lobster, and my driving. I have been using the GPS for most of our driving directions. The exit ‘she’ told me to take in Providence, RI was closed for construction. ‘She’ recalculated, and we took the next exit and drove through downtown. I missed the next turn and thought I could make a sharp left turn and then a sharp right. The left turn went OK, but on the right turn I ran over the curb just a little with the right rear tire. That caused quite a jolt and several cabinet doors inside the coach flew open. A casserole dish broke; there was powdered sugar all over and lots of other items all over the floor. The noise of everything crashing to the floor was shocking! It cleaned up just fine and now we have one less casserole dish to worry about falling out.
Oh well, tomorrow will be better.

Lobster is definitely better if you know how to get it out of the shell in those nice, big chunks that you can dip in freshly melted butter. Sorry about the casserole dish : ( Tell "Natasha" to get the directions right next time! We are looking forward to you getting here. Are you going to get a chance to stop by Mom and Mark's on your way down?
