Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Sept 23 and 24


Provincetown, this was where it all started, the place where the Pilgrims first landed a few hundred years ago but only stayed for 5 weeks.  Cape Cod looks like a bent arm and we drove through the whole length of the Cape and ended up at Race Point Beach. We climbed to the top of the Pilgrims Monument and had a birdseye view of Provincetown. There are many beautiful beaches and lighthouses dotting both sides of the Cape. The beaches here are different. They are flanked by sand dunes along most of the coast. 

We stayed at the upper Cape in the town of Orleans. It's off season and the hotel we stayed at had only 4-5 rooms occupied. It was ghostly quiet. In a way it is great as there is not much crowd and we didn't have to pay to enter the beaches and there are no lines into anything.
