Cape Cod

had met up with a fellow blogger (The-Think) last weekend on a trip to Boston, we headed out to Cape Cod with friends of hers. it was a bit of a drive, but beautiful. now a bit about the history of Cape Cod..

Most explorers who chanced upon the northeastern shores of America landed on or around Cape Cod. Later, the Pilgrims first landed in America on the tip of lower Cape Cod after they were turned back from their more southerly destination by shoals between Cape Cod and Nantucket Island. On Cape Cod, they found potable water and food and had their first fight with the natives.

The Pilgrims, however, decided that this land was too sandy to support them, and they sailed across Cape Cod Bay to establish Plymouth. Today, the natural landscape of Cape Cod is little changed. Small villages are separated by large areas of forest, dune, beach, and marsh. Much of the East-facing Atlantic seacoast of Cape Cod consists of wide, sandy beaches. In 1961, a significant portion of this coastline was made a part of the Cape Cod National Seashore by President John F. Kennedy, and is thus protected from development. This unspoiled natural beauty makes Cape Cod one of the most favored vacation areas for the people living in the thickly settled northeastern States.

for lovers of seafood, it was a heavenly experience.. plus it was a bit early in the season, so the crowds hadn't hit the area yet thank God! the wind was whipping about but the sun was pleasantly warm enough to allow walking along the beach.





there is something about the sea, that brings out different feelings and elements in each of us.. what does looking at, and listening to the sea make you feel?
