Cape Cod - Day 4

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 was a fun day on the Cape!

Note: Due to technical difficulties on Cape Cod, these are all being added days later.

This time we headed up the Cape to Provincetown. Don’t ask me why they call this the Lower Cape; but that is what our guide calls it. It’s upper (or North) to me!

Our first stop was at a windmill. Yes, windmill in the USA, not Holland! It was kind of cool. But we have one at home in Washington Township, too.

As always, you can see bigger views by just clicking on the photos.

Next, we saw a neat light house. Actually we saw a good number of light houses but I only got close photos of two of them. I was disappointed by the power wires invading my photo space but this seemed to be common up there.

We arrived in Provincetown in time for lunch. Everyone was able to wander a bit and pick an eating place of their liking. We were in walking distance of the waterfront and the Pilgrim’s Tower. We were disappointed in the upkeep of the monument at the tower. I guess the locals have other priorities!
Note that it starts “In the name of God, Amen”. The next photo shows some of the local color. I had a pretty good cup of strong coffee in the Red Eye Coffee shop.
We traveled on a little way to a nice view of the end of the cape and also the sand dunes. We didn’t get close enough to the light house there to get a very good photo but you can see it in the haze around the bend of the beach and dunes.
We had a great bus driver, Jay, and also a very nice guide, Patricia.
Finally, we end the day in West Yarmouth at the Super Buffet for dinner and entertainment.
