Productive leisure in Boston |
Whether will bring you any wind to Boston, open-air a museum will not visit simply a crime as practically all travel agencies of a city will organise one-day excursions to the Plimutsky Stone (Plymouth Rock).
If not to slip the index and to have time to curtail from a motorway №3 (Boston - Providence) in the necessary place your expectations will be rewarded. The easy breeze of Atlantic rushes into car salon, turning a head the freshness, the quiet water smooth surface which is propping up horizon, pleases an eye. It is a little downwards - also the strip of a sandy beach, утыканная here and there various booths and other signs of a civilisation always following never-ending streams of tourists and inquisitive citizens opens.
And in the middle of it, indulgently smoothly shaking masts, squeaking a rigging, towers круглобокое a body "Mayflower II" - an exact copy of that first ship on which the ocean in far 1620 has been crossed. The high wooden pier, to кнехтам which is moored the ship by ropes, is quite safe to step aboard and in full sense to touch hoary antiquity. Notice, on purely painted wooden handrail there are no inscriptions in Russian as in other and in other languages, type "the Pussycat and Ося here were" so do not hurry up to get from wide trouser-legs knives and топорики. Otherwise momento more - it is instant in the sea.
The ship is only an exhibit of the big museum complex of the Plantation. The basic exposition of a museum is behind a high wooden fence, to enter for which it is possible, having bought the ticket. If you not a member of the American Trade union of Teachers it will cost to you of only 20 universal units (teachers and schoolboys have considerable privileges in country museums). For these 20 dollars will show you a 20-minute wide-screen colour historical film and will allow to examine unlimited time "a live museum".
