Hi Alexandra, I'm visiting from Connie's blog and live in the Midwest. I've never been to Cape Cod, but I must say that your site is giving me the nudge. Beautiful!!

Welcome, Deb! You must plan to visit. September is a nice month, after the crowds of August have left.
It sounds like you're getting anxious to have the streets full of summer tourists. Or are you just enjoying the quiet time before the season starts?

No summer tourists yet. That's the secret summer tourists do not realize. There's always something interesting going on in Wellfleet!
