Cape Cod Day 3

Today we drove out to the end of Cape Cod.
We spent some time in the Cape Cod National Seashore.
We walked algong the miles of dunes and surf.
This is the Highland Light house.
We were able to climb to look out over the National Park.
This is the view from the visitor center.

A picture cannot capture the vastness of all the dunes.
This is Race Point Lighthouse.
Can you see it?
It is a four miile walk, so I only took a picture from far away.
As we were walking out on the breakwall,
Michael caught an Atlantic Salmon!!!!

We did some shopping in the little town of Provincetown.
It is a colorful town with a lot of different shops.






The wave were pretty big because of the after effects of Hurricane Bill.

Cape Cod Day 2

We spent time in Marlehead, MA
We visited the lighthouse park along the rocky shores.
We sat on a bench looking at the sailboats gliding by and the waves crash against the shore.




Salem MA was a dissapointment.
They have commercialized the "witch" business so much that the rest of the
town has been over looked.
So we spent time fishing and walked out to the harbor light.

On the first day of our Cape Cod adventure
we took the Island Queen to Martha's Vineyard.
It was a nice 30 minute cruise.We rented a moped for the day.
Could I look any more ridiculous in that helmet.

We visited four of the lighthouse on the island. Gay Head Lighthouse West Chop Lighthouse Edgartown Lighthouse
This is the only light we could climb.

his time so we could learn about this beautiful place.East Chop Lighthouse
