Beautiful Cape Cod

We’re in Cape Cod now for a couple of weeks and are really enjoying the beautiful area here.  We drove up to the very tip where there’s a small town called Provincetown.  If you look at Cape Cod as an arm with an elbow and wrist and the had is in a fist, Provincetown is where the fingers would be.  The pilgrims actually landed here before arriving at Plymouth, and spent a month resupplying.

We also drove along some of the shoreline and saw some people out clamming at the low tide.  There were some boats laying on their side in the mud and some trucks and cars out in the sand while people dug for clams.

We visited a lighthouse on the Atlantic side that had to be moved in 1996 due to the shoreline eroding.  It took them 7 months to lift it up off the foundation and roll it carefully about 100 yards to its new home.  We didn’t go up to the top of the lighthouse, unfortunately, because you had to schedule some time on a tour and we didn’t want to wait.  Oh well!

Here are pictures we took:
