Day 14: A Beautiful Day on the Cape

The weather was very beautiful today and we took advantage of it by exploring the cape. This morning we went to the Brewster General Store which is an old-fashioned general store down the road from John and Paul's house. Then we went down the road the other way to an old mill that has a stream next to it where once a year the herring swim upstream to spawn. This is their season and it was interesting to see them swim up over little waterfalls to get to their desired place.
We drove out to Fort Hill Park where in addition to several overlooks with beautiful ocean views they have a boardwalk through the Red Maple Swamp and a walking path to "Sharpening Rock" where the Indians once sharpened their tools and weapons.
Our lunch stop was a place called Russ and Marie's It-Il-Do. They had a little bit of everything offered to eat and I opted for a lobster roll. After lunch we went to Marconi Beach to see some spectacular views.
Provincetown was our final destination of the day and we spent the afternoon wandering through some shops and galleries. We had an early dinner at Fanizzi's and, once again, I opted for seafood-this time a seafood platter.
Tomorrow I am headed to SLO for a couple of days mainly to check on my mother. Dwyne will go to Maine for those days to visit his friends Bob and Nelson. I hope he'll keep a record of his activities because they are likely to be more interesting than mine.
