Leaving Harrisburg in the cloudiness - with the top up - proved to be advantageous as the temperature got hotter as the day progressed.
We did take the bypass around New York City - but could still see the skyline/Empire State Building in the distance. Driving in/near NYC was still absolutely C-R-A-Z-Y even with our GPS. If you think drivers in your town drive nuts, you should visit NYC. When we got done going through NYC, we were both nervous wrecks!
The geography began to change from a midwest type of tree/plant to a more traditional northern type of tree/plant with more variety of pines.
We made the long trek up the "arm" of the Cape, past noted towns such as Chatham, Hyannis, Orleans and then finally to Provincetown. A town that is only 1 mile wide and 3 miles long, population 3400 and shares a good bit of real estate with the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Our hotel stood at the top of a small hill - majestically showing off the beautiful landscaping. With parking nearly non-existent in this town built before cars, Jim circled the hotel several times before finding the teeny parking lot. The main house contains the dining room and kitchen, check-in desk and several rooms. We were personally guided to our room in the Garden. A cobble stone path and lovely landscaped yards lead us to our room 306. Here were individual rooms, about 6, in one building each with their own exterior door, porch and outdoor table and chairs. Inside this beautifully furnished room was a large screen tv, fireplace, king bed, small fridge, and huge bathroom with a giant jacuzzi tub/shower.
Because we were extremely tired, we decided to sample dinner a the hotel's Bistro. First we were treated to crackers, cheese, veggies and wine reception (daily from 5-6pm) then dinner. Jim had the chicken breast on risotto with glaze and asparagus. I ate the steamed mussels (steamed in butter and white wine) with potatoes gratin. Then it was back to the room for a much needed night's sleep!
