Miriam and I spent a weekend on Cape Cod (September 13-15, 2002).
"Home base" was Welfleet, although we ventured up to Provincetown (no pictures, unfortunately)
and saw Plymouth on the way up also.
| We took a long hike on the bay side of Cape Cod National Seashore, the fifth largest national park in the U.S. |
 |
| This grass had a pretty mean haircut. |
 |
| Erosion control! |
 |
|
Those are fiddler crabs, and lots of them. They kept darting in and out of their little holes all over the path, so the hike was kind of like that carnival game where you try and hit a gopher with a hammer, except we were trying not to hit the gopher. |
 |
|
Miriam, triumphant. We had reached one end of the hike, and our reward was a beautiful beach. Note the sand Miriam is standing on. It's hard to hike on sand. |
 |
| Just a nice view of the lightly rolling terrain. |
 |
| You can just make out the osprey. Just. |
 |
|
Having eaten at "Three Men and a Stove" in the Muskokas, Miriam and I naturally wanted to check out "Two Girls With Good Taste." Unfortunately it was closed. |
 |
|
Ah yes, Abiyoyo. As it turns out, Abiyoyo is a giant from a
children's story. Miriam knew the Abiyoyo song, naturally! |

|
Our friends at the sand dunes. This photo doesn't really do justice to the size of these seagulls. |
 |
|
This one does though. Hee hee. Of course, this picture also seems to indicate that this seagull has four legs. Hmmmm. |
