Cape Cod from Hyannis to Provincetown

Windy, cold, sunny, and magnificent describe our day at Cape Cod. The wind was blowing unbelievably hard. The waves at the National Sea Shore were amazing. Very high and very forceful. As we watch them at high tide, their power pulled you toward them. The sand dunes lined the banks and the sand from the ocean was swept up onto the stairs we had climbed down to the shore.

At high tide the sand covered several steps at the bottom and the waves were about 10 feet high. Due to the extreme conditions we did not go to Martha's Vineyard, but had a very full and fulfilling day.

This is a picture of a determined fisherman along the National Seashore, in pretty rough conditions, but they were dressed for it, and didn't seem to mind the wind and waves. Hope they caught some big ones, as a reward for their perserverance.

We discovered a little Wharf on Wharf Lane in Barnstable, and got to take some photos of 3 little boats moored close to the marshes. We could see the ocean waves on the horizon, and we had not yet been to the National Sea Shore to see their force up close.


I love the wooden shingle siding on the houses here. It is just exactly "New England" as you would expect, and so very pretty.

We drove all the way to Provincetown and were there at sunset. It is a very interesting town, full of neat shops and interesting people. Our waiter at Lobster Pot was from Portugal. We met a friendly elderly couple taking a walk on Commercial Street. He had a walker and she a cane, but they both had smiles and time to chat. They were thrilled to have their picture taken. It's all about the friends you meet along life's journey.

After driving to see the lighthouses and checking out Bird Watchers General Store, seeing the sand dunes, ocean waves, interesting villages and architecture, we made one last stop at Hyannis' Barnes and Noble for about an hour. Ahhh, what a perfect day!

Hope you are enjoying our journey for we surely are.
