2011 Summer Trip to New England #8





















Friday Jim and I decided to take a bike ride along the Cape Cod Canal. It was a beautiful day and we rode 10 miles. I know for you "real bikers" this does not seem like a long ride but it was plenty long for us. We ended the day with you guessed it, more seafood. We found this wonderful restaurant that offered steamers and clam chowder. Jim got his usual hamburger. He just doesn't know what he's missing. Saturday we took a ride along the coast above Cape Cod. We learned early on, you don't want to go to the Cape on the weekend. The traffic is horrendous. Sunday we decided to just have a laid back day and spent the day at the pool right there at the camp ground. It is a really nice big pool with plenty of chairs. We enjoyed reading and watching the kids play volley ball in the pool. It was the only time we used the pool since we've been here. By 4:00 it gets cool here so we headed back to the camper and cooked some hamburgers. Monday, we set out to another of Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. This time we went to Kelly's Diner in Somerville, Ma. which is near Cambridge, MA where Harvard University is. As usual the food was really really good. We have now visited 10 of the diners noted in this book. Going through Harvard Square was like going through a tourist area. Lots of shops, and restaurants. If we weren't going to Kelly's we would have stopped there. Neither one of us has ever seen Harvard before so we were both awed and impressed. Time sure flys when you are having fun. We leave for Maine on Tuesday. Looking forward to exploring more sea coastal towns.
