To beat the heat we got up early and cycled down to the local beach. We are on the bay side of the Cape and because it was just after low tide the mud flats were exposed.(pic) We walked out to the water and were amazed at how quickly the tide was moving back in. We were soon on little islands of sand and had to wade back to shore.
To get off the Cape we traveled along highway 6A. The old road across the Cape. There are bookshops, cafes and stores lining the road. I really felt that the area we had stayed in – Brewster – was the quaintest.
Driving north to Boston we passed Plymouth. We stopped at Plimouth Plantation only to discover it was very similar to the Jamestown and Yorktown living history museums we visited in June. We decided to skip the attraction and continued on to the campground. We are in a State Park and surrounded by trees. The campground is huge but we are on the outer loop so our trailer faces out to the forest. Our neighbors are not too close so we feel like we are on our own in the forest. As soon as we were settled we cycled around picking up wood previous campers had left in their fire rings. We found enough wood to have a least two fires. Once we got the AC going in the camper I could not resist an afternoon snooze. The boys settled down with their books.
Rob made a huge fire for us after dinner.(pic) It was good to relax while they burned sticks. A huge thunderstorm has just passed over us. Lightning and thunder crashed overhead. We switched off all the lights and enjoyed nature’s “fireworks”. Even though it is a full moon the clouds have blocked out all light. The rain came pouring down and this prompted us to have a shower – right outside the camper just as nature intended! It was great fun. I hope Cape Cod also got some of this storm. They really need it.

PS. We have finally found internet - we are sitting outside a public library in the car park. Library is already closed at this time of day.
We are have such fun here in Boston. Will write soon.
