Eastern Seaboard Vacation 2
In the morning, we headed out to Cape Cod. The drive started out nice, but turned awful. Some bad timing landed us just outside Boston right at rush hour, which extended the drive by a good two hours. We didn't arrive at Orleans and our AirBnB flat until after dark.
Orleans is a smallish town at the beginning of the place where Cape Cod juts into the Atlantic. It's a smallish town that mostly serves as a staging point for tourists visiting other parts of the Cape (as Darwin and I planned to do). Our flat is just outside of town and occupies the upper story of a detached garage. It's a lovely, airy studio with wood floors and bare beams and white walls. It's only disadvantage is that it's fully 45 minutes away from Provincetown. On the other hand, it was affordable! P-Town is notoriously expensive.
We dropped our luggage, then headed into Orleans to find supper. We managed it at a restaurant called Land, Ho. Fantastic clam chowder there! Then we stopped for provisions at a big grocery store called Stop and Shop. I only mention this because my ex-wife Kala and her friend Stephanie used to come out to the Cape during summer break at Central Michigan University because the Cape paid three times the national minimum wage and they could stay rent-free at a relative's house. They always worked at the Stop and Shop. I texted them photos.
Next morning, we headed out to explore . . .
