Hyannisport, Mass

We took off in the morning and drove to the tip of the Cape to Provincetown. Very congested area, but unique stores and eateries. The town is very artsy with many galleries. We ate a bowl of award winning chowder at the famous Oyster Pot and then headed down to the National Seashore....just in time for the rain to start, again. The drive along the Bay is so beautiful.

We drove to Hyannisport with the hopes of finding the Kennedy Compound. We knew in would be a long shot. The location is not advertised anywhere, no tour signs saying "this way." But we did noticed signs saying No Tour Buses, private area. Andy was determined to find the mansion and kept driving until we decided to park and walk the beach, to look for it from the ocean. Yeah...there it was!! And about 10 other people looking also for the house and taking pictures. We had our photo taken in front, proving we were there. The house was completely closed up, windows all covered. We all decided to continue to walk further down and looked at the other homes appearing to be part of the compound. We had heard that many of the Kennedy children also have homes in the area. The home next door was also very huge and we all were then uncertain which house actually was the main home! I looked it up on the Internet and Zillow, when we got back to the RV. It appears that the second home is the main home where the whole Kennedy family spent summers and holidays. So we didn't get our photo taken in front of it, but we at least did get a shot of it!! Zillow had it listed as being sold recently for $1.00. We had read that the decision was made to turn the home into a museum.

We have been retired now for three and a half months and finally our bodies are adjusting. We both slept until 9:30; and I slept for 10 hours!!! No alarm clocks any more. Actually, no clocks in the RV. The mornings have been very cloudy, so no light shines in to wake us.

We will be here in this campground until Monday October 12th, then we are being kicked out. The campground is closing for the season. It is a great place. We even have cable TV and have been trying to catch up on the news and happenings in the outside world. But will continue to head south....especially for more sunshine!
