Disturbing news and damaged monuments

May 6, 2012

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, round and round it goes, hopefully continuing long beyond my short life.

But the sun should set over the ocean. I find it disconcerting to have the ocean get darker but the sunsetting in the other side of the sky.

We went to Plymouth today, saw a rock and a Mayflower. I know that is not the Mayflower and personally disbelieve it is the rock. But here, have some pictures.

First, the re-creation of of the Mayflower. It is a tourist attraction complete with historically dressed tour guide. I didn’t do so well with the last historic re-creation so we won’t be going aboard. The temptation to snark is too high.

And here is the alleged rock. Maybe. Except if it was the rock that the Pilgrims landed upon, then it has been broken and moved so it was not well preserved.
