Karen had read in the paper that the Federated Church of Hyannis was having their weekly lobster roll luncheon. We decided that we should check it out, since it was just around the corner from our hotel. This luncheon has been happening for the last 50 years. For $12 you get a lobster roll, potato chips, a drink and dessert (delicious chocolate cake!). All of the food was made by the ladies of the church. We were joined at our table by Nancy & Enzio who have been married for 51 years and used to live on The Cape, but now live near Boston. They were very a entertaining couple. There was a concert pianist playing during the lunch. Lots of fun with the locals!
After lunch, we packed up the car and headed to Nauset Beach in Orleans, which is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. We spent the rest of the afternoon reading and relaxing. The water here was a lot cooler than other beaches we had visited, but the waves were big enough for the surfers. We had to check out the last of the Christmas Tree Shops on The Cape in Orleans. We were in a bit of a panic … we didn’t have any dinner recommendations from Al & Terri. We decided to drive to Rock Harbor and stumbled upon Cap’t Cass’ Rock Harbor Seafood. This restaurant has been in business since 1958. The menu is posted on cardboard on the wall. We enjoyed a lovely dinner (fish & chips, crab roll). Karen noticed a couple that ordered their dinner and then proceeded to pull out a couple of beers from their bag. It’s that kind of casual place.
We headed over to Rock Harbor to watch the sunset. We noticed a man with a couple of cameras and tripods, and knew we were in the right place. There were lots of people enjoying the sunset, and a man playing a steel drum. You can watch the boats returning from a day of fishing, and the scenery is stunning. We took lots of photos and truly enjoyed our last evening on The Cape.
