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.
