Ah yes, once July 4th comes around it really is summer on the Cape. 6-20 mile back ups to get over the bridges, more out of state plates than local, people stopping in the middle of the road to look at something, people who don't KNOW HOW TO YIELD driving into the rotary, $25/day to park at the area beaches, 45 to an hour waits at restaurants on Friday and Saturday nights, at least an hour to drive the 26 mile commute home, not being able to get off the cape on weekends, the list goes on and on.
Why did we move here, you ask? It was the lure of no snow in the winter (which is not quite true) and cooler weather in the summer (witness the 4 days of 98 degree weather we just had). The hydrangeas are nice. Hmmm... what else is good again?
We have 3 more months of this fun to go. I'm already looking forward to Columbus Day.
Today's Sighting: the tourist going the wrong way on a turnaround - at least they ended up going the right way in the end.
