We traveled a short distance today through southern Rhode Island on our way to Massachusetts where we will spend some time in the Boston area and Cape Cod. Our campground is right on the beach as well as a canal that runs between Cape Cod Bay on the east and Buzzard Bay on the west. Along that canal is a walking path about 6.5 miles long. It is a great place to walk and enjoy the water and the cool breezes. The beaches here are not as nice as in Florida and along the gulf coast. The sand is not fine, nor is it white and there are no sea shells. It is hard to walk in so we only went there one time. We have been so busy site seeing lately that we need a break. We really did very little on Sunday and Monday.
Tuesday
We each got a hair cut in the morning and in the afternoon we drove to Plymouth and through the historic area there. Plymouth Plantation is an area very much like Williamsburg, VA. We decided since we had seen the history there we would not go to Plymouth Plantation. We did drive down to the shore where we got a picture of the Mayflower replica. At that time of day there were no parking places so we did not have the chance to walk around the area. Gene let me out and I quickly ran out to take the picture. Also got a picture of boats anchored there in Plymouth Bay, one of my favorite pictures which I am now using as a desktop for the computer. In the evening we met with an old friend of Gene’s from his child hood days. We had dinner with Dave and his wife, Ellen as the guys reminisced about the fun they had as youngsters. We had a great time and we hope to meet up with them again some day.
