ORVing

At the beginning of our Cape Cod visit, our hosts , Jerry and Sue suggested riding in the sand with the air out of the tires. Judy and I pictured that as taking our bikes with flat tires through the sand and were not very enthusiastic. Toward the end of our stay, the idea came up again but this time we all realized there had been mis communication. It was the truck that we would be in with the tires down to 11 psi and they had a special permit ORV for off roading in the sand dunes in the Provincetown area. It was a beautiful though windy day as we drove over and through the huge dune area until selecting a waterfront site for a picnic behind our windscreen. It was an area that would be difficult to access in any other way so we had it mostly to our selves for beach combing. Later we drove through parts of Provincetown where the crowds of people seemed overwhelming after the tranquility of the beach. My last visit July 4,1995 was a fond memory but it was difficult to find familiar landmarks on this trip. For our last night we ate at a South African restaurant in Eastham Karoo. We had a delicious meal,mine a Malay Shrimp stew made with coconut milk! We had a wonderful visit with exercise, good food, and particularly renewing friendships.
