Cape Cod, MA






Hello from Cape Cod, MA. It's lovely here! We drove up to Plymouth yesterday and saw the plymouth rock ( a 4x4' rock with 1620 engraved on it, encased), and the Mayflower II (apparently the original was sold for scrap, so this was a replica built in the 1950's). Bob toured it (no dogs allowed) and said it was very cool. In the bottom of this boat were 102 people for 66 days and not allowed to go up top (only the crew were allowed on the deck). Bob said they must have all been short people...the beds were small and the ceilings low. Plymouth was a very charming little town, but it was cold and rainy so we didn't stay long.




Drove upcape to Provincetown, lovingly referred to as "P-town" by the locals. It's a mostly gay little town on the tip of the cape, and quite a party town! We loved it! Reminded us a lot of Key West in many ways. Appartently it's the only place in the states where you can watch the sun rise and set. We saw neither...we found a fun little bar on the wrong side of the tip! Tomorrow we hop a ferry for Martha's Vineyard.




We only spent a couple days in Maine, and only about 25 miles into the state. We camped in Wells, and drove up to Kennebunkport for a day. That was a great little town.
The only photo we took was of the Bush's home there. We need to get used to having a camera again! Didn't even eat a lobster...they don't sell just the tail here; you have to order the whole lobster, and I just can't see it. So we'll go without. We don't really care for lobster anyway! Maine, what we saw of it, was beautiful, but getting cold.
