On Cape

We have arrived!! Vacation at last!! It's Sunday night, and we've finally settled in at the house in North Eastham, MA. We flew into Boston Friday morning and drove down to the Cape to spend some time with Uncle Chris and Aunt Pam. The picture at left was taken in their kitchen. Hickory Hill is a most hospitable abode, full of all things yummy, including fish chowder and raspberry waffles. We had lunch with Chris at The Landfall in Woods Hole (dessert was, what else, Coffee Obsession). The went back to Chris' office at the USGS, where we got a first hand look at their latest outreach/education activities. Pam made us dinner Friday night and then we all drove into Falmouth for a cultural treat.



Arts abound on Cape, and Chris is a proud member of the Greater Falmouth Mostly All-Male Men's Chorus. The GFMaMMC is presenting a concert this weekend, and we got to see the dress rehearsal at the Wesley United Methodist Church. Our Falmouth Track Club friend, Doris Beatty, is also a member of the group. We stayed for the first hour or so, and then headed out for some ice cream.



Saturday was brisk and rainy. Temperatures in the 50's with rain and wind. After a breakfast of waffles with fresh raspberries, we headed down to Nobska Point to sit by the lighthouse. There's also nothing like a little shopping around Main Street in Falmouth. About noon we headed down Cape and got moved into the house. Grocery shopping, takeout pizza, Ben&Jerry's and a visit to Nauset light at dusk rounded out the day.





Sunday morning dawns chilly, but clear. The weather was spectacular all day. We went to Sunday services at Nauset Baptist Church to worship the Lord and renew friendships there. After lunch we bundled up and headed across the street to the bayside beach (pictured at left). In the late afternoon we hiked around Great Pond, grabbed some dinner at hit Ben&Jerry's again.








It's getting late now, but I'll try to post a couple more times this week. We're supposed to get a good nor'easter tomorrow and Tuesday, then clear skies again later in the week. I think I hear the Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory calling....
