When we visit Cape Cod, our traditional-number-one-place-where-we-always-eat is the Lobster Pot in Provincetown. Be it lunch or dinner, we always enjoy our meals at this landmark spot and a trip to the Cape would be incomplete without at least one meal here. The menu is extensive but we always get seafood and I usually get … Continue reading Food on the Cape

Making Tracks to Wellfleet
We're off today for our annual visit to Cape Cod, so postings for the next two weeks will be sparse, if not nonexistent. We've visited the Cape every summer since 1999 and it is a tradition we all look forward to enjoying each year.

I don't know what your vacation style is. Do you make plans to visit every historic site, museum and attraction within a 100 km radius or are you more inclined spend your time lounging by the pool? For me, the perfect vacation is a mellow blend of a couple of must-see tourist attractions, lazy mornings … Continue reading (Soon to Be) Under the Tuscan Sun
