Afraid of the bridge traffic? Sunday’s can be easy to get on the Cape and hard to get off so we opted for Plymouth,MA. The first thing we saw was a live statue of a turn of the century woman all in white…she had the appearance of a ghost, she must be hot under all that makeup.  We checked out the fish pier home of Capt’n John’s Deep Sea fishing half and full day charters available and many other smaller personal charters as well. We had an Ice Cream at Ziggy’s which is the best I’ve had in Plymouth.I had a Brownie Boat Sundae, warm brownies, 3 scoops, hot fudge and whip cream. I bet the Pilgrims would have coughed up their corn meal if they saw it. We were going to go on the Mayflower II but it was closed at 5:00 PM. We left with our youngest crying and being dragged from the site (future history buff ?or run of the mill whiny brat, hmm?) which made our exit less than desirable and quicker, for more things to do on Cape Cod.

Main Street - Hyannis, MA — Free live magic shows are just one of the draws every Thursday in the summer from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM. Each Thursday musicians and entertainers descend upon Main Street in Hyannis.We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the entertainers, there were jazz bands, rock bands, and soloists. We even spotted one smiling lady walking alone and playing a violin (quite well in fact)  seemingly happy to have a place to play. The kids really enjoyed the street performers who juggled and played tricks on their willing volunteers. Overall a fun place to get an ice cream or buy a gift or souvenir. One store was particularly interesting as it had door mats hanging outside with every possible greeting printed on them and obscure gifts such as an Oscar Wilde Action Figure or how about a Shakespeare Action Figure or Vincent van Gogh Action Figure complete with easel, brushes and some mini masterpieces, I’m not sure of the name of this place but you can’t miss the hanging door mats on Main Street in Hyannis.

After a searing double (close to a home run ) by a Chatham Anglers player. The bat that hit the shot was examined by the umpires and determined to be a composite material. Cape Cod Baseball League rules allow only wooden bats. I was at the game and the bat in question had a black handle with what looked like a wood grain but even from a few feet away it looked a little too perfect. One of the Bourne Braves coaches yelled out ” it must be composite that’s as far as I hit my driver” eliciting laughs from the crowd. The player was ruled out and there was an announcement that the game was being played under protest. We can assume this was from the Chatham Anglers as the Bourne Braves staff looked rather pleased as the player at second base walked sheepishly from the field. Fortunately the out wasn’t a determining factor in the game as the Chatham Anglers went on to defeat the Bourne Braves 2-0.
