The heat here is challenging us. When we woke up and stepped out of the camper all thought of exploring was curtailed. I could not bear the thought of getting into the car to go anywhere. The boys disappeared to play war games with their Nerf guns, I relaxed, blogged and snoozed. WiFi here is good. By 3pm I had cabin fever and it had cooled down marginally. We decided to find a swim beach. We traveled from Brewster towards the Atlantic side of the Cape and then north from there. The water was cooler than the Nantucket surf, but very refreshing.(61 F) The boys made some friends and built a ball race down the beach towards the waves.(pic) I wanted to explore further north before the sunset so the boys reluctantly cycled back to the car. We explored the coastline by stopping at each public beach along the road. The dunes form “cliffs” and one must hike down to the beaches.(pic) It is popular to have fires on the beaches at night. We watched quite a few groups settling in for an evening on the beach. One lady passed us with a dinner of pizza. The smell was glorious. It was nice to see how little development there is along the coast. No hotels, just houses. We stopped at Marconi point. The place where the first transatlantic telegraph transmission was made between the US and Europe in 1903. While we were there we watched the moon rise.(pic) By this time we were very hungry and I could still smell those pizzas! We found a pizza hut and ate the best pizza I have ever tasted.
