Cape Cod

The Nauset Lighthouse was very close to where we were staying, and they gave tours Sunday afternoon.  James nearly choked when the guide asked him if he had ever been up a lighthouse before.  After sharing that his wife was a lighthouse enthusiast, the guide said that the woman who was there just before us had been to about 230 lighthouses, and asked if we had been to that many.  James was happy to report that I had been to even more.

The Nauset Lighthouse flash alternates white and red.  The Three Sisters Lighthouses were unique in that there are three lighthouses right next to each other in order to provide a clear reference of location (different from the twin lights at Chatham further south, and other single lights.)

We visited several places right in Eastham (where we were staying).   We visited First Encounter Beach, "the site of the first encounter between Native Americans and the Pilgrims".  We enjoyed views from Fort Hill.  We had a beautiful evening at Coast Guard Beach.  We saw surfers, seals, waves, a sunset over the hill that looked like a fire, and a great big moon reflecting on the water.
