Plymouth Pilgrims
Tue 16 May
We headed to Plymouth to see the steps where the pilgrims headed to "North Virginia" on the Mayflower in 1620 (about the time the Button's house was being built I guess!). We looked in an old Elizabethan home, and had an ice cream.
It started to rain so we headed back to Michaelstow (where the Button's live). After dinner, so supper as it's called, Joe took me to Port Isaac to watch his friends rowing in the Atlantic Ocean on traditional Cornish row boats. The tradition is that when huge ships docked out in the harbour the first boat to get there
would get the contract of bringing the crew ashore - thus the races!
We felt we had earned a drink, so we had a beer overlooking the harbour. A pleasant evening and a magic view.
