This replica of the Mayflower in Plymouth, Massachusetts is another example of how Americans are so strangely interested in ersatz experiences. Epcot is the prime example. New ski villages in the Rockies modeled after Bavarian towns, complete with cuckoo in the clock tower, is another.
Come on, America! Seek the real thing! Make your dreams come true instead of letting the television suck the creativity out of you! It's the only way we're going to reclaim the American spirit -- by working to make our own dreams come true.
The Pilgrims came to America to make a dream of freedom come true. Unfortunately, from that point on, Euro-American settlers killed the Native Americans' dream of living on the land as freely as ever.
There's got to be a way for people to make their dreams come true without ruining the lives of others. Let's do it.
Plymouth Harbor on Thanksgiving Day. A replica of the Mayflower reveals how small and fragile a ship it was. Our dreams can be fragile, but we can make it, just like the Pilgrims did.
What's believed to be Plymouth Rock, housed in a Greek-style temple on the shore. The waters of Plymouth Harbor lap at it perpetually. Don't let time or discouragement erode your dreams.
