Cool Cape Cod

Hi you guys,
Cape Cod is known as a wonderful location in Massachusetts. It reminded us very much of the shoreline of the Netherlands. We met Zach last year on a canoe trip in Germany and he invited us to stay with his parents in Falmouth. He is currently in Milano visiting a school for studying ancient languages and other interesting subjects. Zach, if you are reading this, enjoy your time in Italy!
Our son Janis showed up in Connecticut and he accompanied us on our journey for ten days. In Falmouth we had a wonderful time. Although Pamela, Steve and Ansel had been very busy before we showed up (they are trying to sell their house) they accommodated us with great hospitality and generosity. They are wonderful people and we hope their move will work out for them!
Boston is not far away from Falmouth, so we visited the famous Boston Science Museum. Inside the Museum, Sabine used the opportunity to get a new hairstyle. I presume Tina Turner would get jealous seeing it. What do you think?
The next day Sabine tried to find out if her new headdress would resist the strong wind of the sea. For this experiment, we took the easiest way and bought three tickets for a whale watching trip. The wind was really very strong and the waves were high like the top of our house. Sabine did not dare to go outside, but Janis and I were standing in the wind near the bow of the boat. The mighty ups and downs felt like a ride on a roller coaster and we had so much fun. After a while, I wanted to know how Sabine was doing and went inside again. It was just the right moment for me to appear. Sabine was about to be seriously seasick, staring absentmindedly out the window, clenching the seat in front of her and her hair hanging down cheerlessly. I persuaded her to follow me outside and to take a second pill of the strong medicine designed for being aboard a wobbly ship. A few minutes later she was fine and we had a great time watching humpback whales swimming and playing next to the ship.
After having stayed more than three hours out on a rough sea, it was a relief to feel solid ground under our feet. While strolling through the little village of Provincetown, with upcoming cold rain, and without being able to decide where to go for a little snack and a warming coffee, our serene mood was changing. But actually, I think it was mostly the strong medicine still working in our bodies. When we drove to the beach waiting for the rain to stop the medicine's aftermath, we found ourselves very tired. Fortunately, the sun came out again and we had a good time on the beach and in the following hours.
The next day we spent bicycling and kayaking. Thanks Ron, for supporting and accompanying us. Cape Cod is really a wonderful place on earth.
Please note above more pictures and a second posting below. And please do not be surprised, as this post will be the last one for the next four months. We will be traveling across Guatemala, Mexico and Rarotonga and due, most likely, to unavailable internet access and a heavy backpack, we will not take our little laptop with us.
Our adventure has just begun :-)
