So Deez, Jr. and I saw the Nutcracker in Southampton this weekend, and I noticed that the theater was called The Mayflower, so I looked to see what the connection was and remembered that the Mayflower originally sailed from Southampton with the Speedwell before having to return because Speedwell wasn't reliable enough to cross the ocean. (Obviously it later sailed from Plymouth without Speedwell.) I looked to see if there were any Mayflower sites and came across the Mayflower Pilgrim Memorial. It wasn't particularly elaborate, but it was cool to see where it started.
And then I went to a nearby brewery and had a really good beer. . .
