Cape Cod
Despite it’s
popularity and close proximity, we had never been to
Cape Cod before. So this year, instead of our usual
mega hiking vacation, we opted for a leisurely exploration of the Cape and
tacked on another visit to Acadia National Park as well.
Cape Cod Canal
Cape Cod is actually
an island that was created by this man-made canal. We walked a tiny
portion of the 6 mile bike path that runs along it. A
vertical lift bridge enables trains to cross without blocking traffic when not
in use. The barge was the only ship we saw on the canal that day other than a
few recreational boats.
Maureen took the helm of The Renier (a retired US Army Corp of Engineer’s patrol boat)
in the canal’s museum.
Hyannis
We stayed in the town of
Hyannis during our visit and had homemade ice cream almost every night for
dessert!
