The Great Weekend Es-Cape

By request, how was our weekend at the Cape? It was great. Our bed and breakfast was friendly and clean and cozy and the breakfast absolutely above par (local ingredients for blueberry lemon pancakes one morning and crispy french toast the next plus a fruit plate and smoothie and home-baked muffin; plus wine and cheese and crackers in the evening time). We did a driving tour of the upper Cape (which is really the southern part of the peninsula — don’t ask, it’s very confusing) and stopped here and there as we fancied.

We found property that has obviously been reserved just for us, rain-spattered coasts, and a whale-bone entryway.

And we also happened upon apples and lighthouses and chocolate and a wedding reception and the woman who coordinated the Obamas’ summer vacation on Martha’s Vineyard and a relay marathon. We didn’t get into any trouble, like we promised, but we sure got in a lot of fun.
