Day 2 on Cape Cod: Hyannis and Chatham

The weather continued to be cool and sunny today, but with stronger winds.  We decided to explore a couple of the towns south of the campground, starting with Hyannis.

Hyannis has little houses near the water that are used by artists to sell their work.

The harbor was a busy place with charter boats, whale-watching boats, and ferries to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.

Downtown Hyannis has many shops, as well as the JFK Museum.

From there, we followed Route 128 along the coast to the town of Chatham, where we picked up some groceries and made a stop at the Chatham fishing pier, where commercial fishermen bring in the day's catch.  Gulls and seals were on hand in case anything happened to be dropped their way.

Dan is enjoying all the beautiful work boats in this area.

In late afternoon, we headed out for some cycling on the Cape Cod Rails Trail again, going northward.  We didn't make it to Wellfleet, given the late hour, but it was a pleasant ride anyway.
