The Cape in March

The first thing I noticed when I got in the unit was that the sitting/TV area smelled. When I got closer to the sofa, I realized that this is where the offending odor came from. It smelled like body odor. On top of that, the wicker sofa we had was extremely uncomfortable.

Also, on day 3, we started to get pincher bugs in the bedrooms. I would say we had one or two per day in the master bedroom and master bathroom and a couple in the hall bath as well.

And this was in March.

We didn't complain to the resort about either issue, so I am not complaining about their response to it, just the fact that it happened.

Otherwise, the resort staff was friendly and the indoor tennis courts were well lit and kept up nicely. I loved that they had water coolers available on both courts. For people staying in the resort, the price of the courts was $10 per hour (although I think it should be free).

This dinner was pricy, but it was worth it! I got a rack of lamb with a goat cheese risotto... mmmmmmmmm. My friend got the duck entrée, which was very good as well. We also split the pate as an appetizer. They made wonderful martinis and had an extensive wine list. The chef was Monsieur Feufeu.

My friend got the fried scallop entrée and I got Quahog clam chowder and a wasabi (sandwich) wrap with a glass of pinot grigio. Both were very good.

We bought a ticket for one of those trolley-tour companies so we could see the city. Our original plan was to take the loop once around and then hop off someone to walk around. At about lunch time, we got off of the trolley at Boston Common and walked around a bit. We had lunch at an Irish pub called O'Connors. This was pretty good. We then took the T to Cambridge and walked around Harvard a little bit.

Maybe it is because we only spent a few hours in Boston, or maybe it is because I have been to Paris and I LOVE that city, but I wasn't overly impressed with Boston. I am sure that if you live there or have friends who can take you to all the cool areas, it is a lot of fun.

Driving out of Boston, I got a glimpse of what driving in Boston can be like. They are doing construction everywhere, so it is very confusing. I had to pull an illegal maneuver just to make sure I didn't go north when I wanted to go south on Route 93 (I think that was the numbered route).

I would visit again, but first and foremost, it would have to be spring, summer, or fall.

We also visited Hyannis and had lunch at Albertos' (I also reviewed this restaurant in another journal entry). I have been to the cape in September before, so I know that this is a great street to shop and visit. But in March on a Sunday, there wasn't much to do except have lunch. On our drive around the Cape, we also found a couple cranbury bogs which we found facinating (see picture below).
