Greetings from Cape Cod

  By Nate Feldman June 27, 2024 My third, and final, day on Cape Cod began with me waking up to a thunderstorm in the early hours of the morning.   Eventually, there was just rain, so when I went running around 6:15, I got wet.   I went to Kalmus Beach one more time to enjoy the sights and sounds of the sea.   Then, I returned to my hotel room, showered, and went over to Chez Antoinne , a local café specializing in French pastries and coffee.   I had a spinach ricotta croissant and café au lait.   I sat there and did some art work for a little while before returning to my hotel room.   Then, I packed all my stuff, checked out of the hotel and headed for the Hyannis Transportation Center to get a bus back to Boston, and from there a train back to Pennsylvania.

  By Nate Feldman June 25, 2024 Today, I began a three-day trip to Cape Cod in Massachusetts.   I took an Amtrak from the station in Paoli, PA, one town over from my hometown of Berwyn, to 30 th street station in Philadelphia.   From there I boarded a train headed for Boston.   The ride was about six hours and twenty minutes, going through New Jersey, New York City, Connecticut, and Rhode Island before stopping at South Station.   It was almost two hours before my bus to the town of Hyannis on Cape Cod departed from South Station, so I decided to explore Boston’s Chinatown, just down the street from the station.   Then, I returned to the station and boarded a Peter Pan bus to the Hyannis Transportation Center.   Welcome to Hyannis Sign  When I arrived in Hyannis, I walked to the Seacoast Inn on Ocean Street where I’ll be staying during my time here.   After putting my stuff away, I walked over to Main Street, just around the corner fro...
