We are in Sandwich, Mass., on Cape Cod. We have been here two days and have been all around the Cape. The traffic is very heavy and we chuckle at the "Thickly Settled" signs. The weather has been great and we have seen several lighthouses and photographed 2. We have seen several wonderful beaches. We toured the Cape Cod Potato Chip factory which was fun. Today we toured an Art Museum and saw the blowing glass. They had some beautiful glass pieces. We also went to Plymouth Rock and toured the Mayflower II. That was very interesting and I would never have survived the trip from England in that ship. We also saw the rock. It sure is not what I expected. It is much smaller. We saw some cranberry bogs, but, of course it is too early for them to be doing anything in them. It has been a very interesting trip so far and the weather has been great. Tomorrow we head to Littleton, Mass. Hopefully we will have access to the internet and I'll post more information.

East Lime, CT. We are having a wonderful time and have seen many things. We went to Mystic Seaport and saw the antique boat parade. That was something to see, many beautiful sail boats. We also went to Newport, Rhode Island, and saw all the famous houses, Astor's Summer Place, Breakers, Marble House, etc. We also took a boat cruise and we saw many fabulous yachts. Some had helicopter pads on the yacht and indoor cargo for their dingy. One of the yachts belonged to Johnny Depp. We also saw several lighthouses. We had lunch at the Newport Creamry at the original location. There are two of them in Newport and we had an "Awful Awful" shake. It was buy one get one free. It was huge and delicious. Today we went to New Haven, CT, and did some geneology. We found a few things. Tomorrow we head out for Sandwich, Mass. where we will go to Cape Cod. More later.
