And now we get away from genealogy stuff for a
bit. These are sightseeing areas near Scituate on Cape Cod.
This is historic Dexter Grist Mill and Pond in Sandwich, MA on
Cape Cod. When you click on the picture, be sure to scroll
left and right on the resulting panoramic picture. Sandwich
is 54 miles from Scituate.

At the tip of Cape Cod, they have a visitor's center
with a view tower. This wide angle picture looks from west
to north to east. You can see the sand dunes at the water's
edge, and an airport strip on the left. The visitor's
center parking lot is on the far left. That's Betty at both
ends of the straight rail. (Click on picture, then scroll
right and left.) |

Virginia, Betty, and Bill Woodworth on the far north
tip of Cape Cod.
We traveled at the perfect time -- late May/early June..
Weather was cool and beautiful, and we had no problem with
crowds. The large parking lots on Cape Cod beaches were
nearly empty. Locals say it's a zoo later, with everyone
coming here to get away from it all. |

Eastern shore of Cape Cod.
This is one of my wife's favorite pictures. She does
enjoy the sea. |

On Cape Cod, they have "yard sales" allowed
by city permit. This yard sale in Brewster on Cape Cod meandered over about a
1/2
block wooded area.
Brewster is 85 miles from Scituate, MA.
Click on the picture for details and viewing the redbuds in
bloom over the display.

A large antique store on Cape Cod somewhere.
These stores were like museums. |

|
About half way between Scituate and Cape Cod is
Plymouth, home of the famous Plymouth Rock.
The rock isn't very big, and is just a part broken off the
original. |
|
|
But the pavilion housing Plymouth Rock is very nice. |
 |
|
A few hundred feet away from Plymouth Rock is this
replica of a 1620s ship. Betty, with her 3/16 Cherokee
blood, is playing like a native welcoming the ship to America.
On the way back to our lodging, we stopped by the Plimouth Plantation
gift shop. It was too late to take the plantation tour. |
