Long day. We started breakfast with fruit banana bread and eggs Benedict. Then we headed to Provincetown Wow streets were very narrow and people were walking in the streets. No where to park and this isn’t even peak season. Then we went looking for lighthouses.

Highland Lighthouse is still an active lighthouses on Cape Cod National Seashore. It was erected in 2857 and is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod

Then we went looking for Race Point lighthouse but you actually had to hike to that but I did some pictures of the ocean

Then we headed to Chatham and found The Three Sisters Lighthouses. they were called the Three Disters because from sea they looked like women in white dresses with black hats

Next stop the Chatham Fishing Pier

Had to take a picture of this boat called the Miss Evelyn as that was my moms name

Next stop the Chatham lighthouse. It stands 48 feet tall and 80 feet above sea level overlooking Chatham Bar. It is one of few lighthouses in America that still operates 24 hours a day

Then back to Falmouth. Decided to stop for dinner at the Shipwreck and stopped to get this sunset photo. Sunset was before 6 but at home it wasn’t until 6:24

Back to the inn to relax in front of fire

We drove to Cape Hatteras today and saw two lighthouses along the way. The top photo is the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and it was built in 1870 and is the worlds second tallest brick lighthouse at 198.5 feet.

The Bodie Island Lighthouse was built in 1872 and has its original 1st order Fresnel lens

Also stopped to see the ocean

The innkeeper was kind enough to tell us where to go to see the sunset
