This is very interesting to see the departure point of the Mayflower. I was fortunate to be able to visit Plymouth Mass. and the Plymouth rock where they landed.
I had my first taste of Swordfish in a restaurant overlooking Plymouth Rock.

Thanks for taking the time to looking in EoS i appreciate it very much.I would like to see some photos of Plymouth rock,that would be most interesting.I had Swordfish quite a few years ago now in Corfu and it was delicious.Never had it since but Mrs A tells me she can get it from our local,Azda superstore.You've wetted my appetite.
