Cape Cod

The day after our visit to Boston, we decided to take a drive out to Cape Cod.  It would be a driving tour in an air conditioned vehicle!  It was a beautiful day with lots of sun and warm temperatures.  It took a little less than an hour to reach the cape.  We drove along the main road through the cape and stopped at a few places along the way. Since the roads going through the cape to the tip of the island are mostly inland, we had to take roads out to the water when we saw a sign for a beach. 

Below is the bridge leading over to the cape.

 

 

A greeting in shrubs!

 

 

 

Our first stop was Falmouth.  It was gorgeous.  Lots of water, boats and....

 

 

cape cod style houses!

 

 

 

Below is a small park we stopped at. 

 

 

Then on down the road....lots of gorgeous dunes in this area.

 

 

 

 

In this picture we were just coming into Provincetown.

 

 

As we turned and drove down toward the ocean, the roads became much narrower.

 It finally became difficult to dodge other cars (parked or moving) plus people walking and/or biking!

 

All kinds of shops and restaurants!

 

 

 

 

Yep, it took me a minute to see the leg!

 

 

 

 

Bikes seem to be the mode of transportation for all of the employees in the shops and restaurants.  These bikes were in a alley between two restaurants.

 

 

 

We ate lunch at the "Lobster Pot" restaurant.  It was a very narrow building, but went all the way out to the beach.

 

 

This was the back.....

 

 

 

Plus a great view of the water.

 

 

Our lunch was good, but the clam chowder that Alan started with was probably the best we had EVER eaten! 

 

 

I saw this fun looking "thing" of old buoys.....

 

 

 

 

When we walked around to the other side, it turns out to be a bench!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Below is another park we stopped along the Cape Cod National Seashore.

When we walked out on the boardwalk, we had no idea that it was so far down to the water.

 

 

 

Lots of steps.....This was the only way down to the beach in this area....

  

 

 

You can see how steep it was in the pictures below. 

 It was really different, but very pretty.

 

 

We had a wonderful day on Cape Cod.
