We took the train from New York to Providence, RI. We walked from the train station to Avis where we had reserved a car. After picking up our car we drove one and a half hours to Hyannis. We checked into the Sea Coast Inn which is just a few blocks from the port and downtown Hyannis. After checking in we walked to Spanky’s Clam Shack for a great seafood dinner. After dinner we walked down Hyannis Main Street and checked out the shops. Our first full day in Cape Cod we drive to Provincetown. Provincetown is at the northern tip of Cape Cod. Provincetown is the site of the Mayflower landing in 1620. The town is called P-town by locals is a haven for artists, lesbians and gay men. The town was full of tourists ... read more

So we decided to head up the highway to Cape Cod. We were going to aim for Provincetown as it was up the Cape quite a way, but then decided on Hyannis instead since it was just under an hour of travel for us. Good decision. We arrived in town, and we were following the directions when the GPS hiccupped and I continued going straight instead of making a right turn. We ended up at Keyes Memorial Beach in the town of Barnstable. We found a large parking lot right next to some beach access. After we parked the RV we gathered Maggie and walked up onto the beach. The sand was thick, heavy, and compared to Florida’s, it had a bit more grit. We ambled up to take in the vista. I turned my head ... read more

Dear All Greetings again from England, with this my second blog entry of my amazing time in New England over the Easter holidays. This one will write about the thoroughly enjoyable time that I had in the very famous Cape Cod, probably my favourite place visited on this trip. It was outside of the tourist season, so very free of the crowds of tourists which apparently flock there in the summer, so I could completely enjoy the peace and serenity of this unique peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded on all sides by beautiful coastlines and sea - it was just lovely! Although the morning that I left Boston was still cold with an icy wind, it didn't seem as bad as the day before, and I spent most of it indoors anyway. After ... read more

We stopped off at the Jared's Jewelry store to pick up Karen's wedding band that had been worked on.As we drove towards Cape Cod, we had no specific agenda. We wanted to see Cape Cod, maybe do a letter box or two, and then maybe drive down to the end/tip of the Cape - which Karen hadn't done yet.Karen was sitting co-pilot and I was ... read more
