五月花上的清教徒 Mayflower Pilgrim,Plymouth,MA

           印地安人像  Statue of Indians

          普利茅斯,由一群受迫害的清教徒駕著五月花號於1620年抵達新大陸的第一個點,儘管是因為惡劣天氣因素導致他們來到這裡,而非原先的目的地--詹姆斯敦,但終究這裡成為了新大陸的殖民地的開端,五月花號公約也成為日後無數自治公約的濫觴,所以也成了著名景點。儘管他們是克己甚嚴的清教徒,必不見容我這放縱形骸又拿香的異教徒,還好,年代的差異,讓我還是能來普利茅斯,一窺早期美國歷史。
           話是說得冠冕堂皇啦.....,但是來到這裡,其實我主要重點還是擺在"吃龍蝦"身上,至於...甚麼美國歷史的,其實我不是那麼在意,那只是酒足飯飽後的散步及網誌前面開頭裝文青而已。
            美國吃龍蝦就是便宜,兩隻大龍蝦,加上一些Dressing,其實也才30~40 USD,在甚麼都貴的美國裡,我覺得算是很超值的了! 這是第二次來普利茅斯吃龍蝦了,第一次吃的店沒開,這次選擇了人潮也不少的Wood's Lobster ( 名字有點記不清了...),不過吃起來雖然也不差,但感覺上第一次都是比較美好的 (很多事情都是這樣..不是嗎? )
        
         Plymouth , the new continet's  first place where the oppressed pilgrim arrived at in 1620 ,steering MayFlower .Although the severe weather led them to here , instead of their original destination --Jamestown , Plymouth is , after all , the bud of the colony and Mayflower compact turned to be the origin of the numerous self-government compact afterward. Self-displined pilgrims must have not borne such a indulged pagan as me . Fortunately , I didn't exist in that era so that I can visit Plymouth anyway.

          Words are words .  To be honest , I don't really care about the historic site . Instead , the emphasis I placed is on " Lobster" . Visiting historic site is just a walk after stufffing .
  
          Relatively speaking , lobster meal is pretty cheap in the U.S. Two lobster with dressing only cost around USD 30-40 . That's the second time I have come to Plymouth to have lobster . The first resturant didn't open that day so that I turned to a new one " Wood's Lobster " . Despite the lobster still tasted good , it seems not to be in the same league of my first time ....  The first time is always irreplaceable and unforgetable....( for many things , right ? )
        

仿造的五月花號,是個不算太便宜的博物館,看到那麼小的船當年要擠上102個人,還真是不簡單 !
A duplicate of Mayflower , which is now a musuem ,but not that cheap .
It is incredible to know such a tiny ship accomodated as many as 102 people.
在普利茅斯的街上,雖然古建築都拆掉了,不過還是有些牌子告訴你"此路是我開,此樹是我栽"的道理.
Although the old architecture at the street of Plymmouth had been torn down , there is still signs "warning" you of who it belongs to .
清教徒嘛~ 教堂就是少不了的!
A church is indispensible for pilgirm ! 
這教堂的大門就告訴你.. 這是有歷史的
The gate of this church speaks for itself ! Historic !


 
 
相傳是清教徒們看到的第一顆石頭,不過越變越小,所以就把他移來這裡關!

兄弟! 重點來了! 龍蝦!!  我其實是要吃一份兩隻龍蝦,但是他卻給我兩份一隻龍蝦
 Lobster ! Here we go ! Actually , I did order one serving of twin lobster ! But what I get is two servings of single lobster .

常看國片台的朋友,可能猜到我這動作要做啥!?
沒錯! 我是向與龍共舞致敬 !  這可是由義大利名設計師--Sitdown Please設計的龍蝦新裝!   不懂的朋友,請看以下連結:

蝦屍體...  好! 我承認被我吃的有點噁心......  我一向崇尚暴力美學阿!不過,想到那剝開身體的殼,大口咬下的感覺,真是難以形容!!
Lobster 's corpse !  I admitted it looks a bit disgusting ! when thinking of the taste , wonderful , beyond words !


逐漸入冬了! 四點多就日落囉!  班師回朝!
As winter apporaches , the day become shorter and shorter ! Back home !
