Cape Cod, Massachusetts . . . Yarmouthport

Welcome to Yarmouthport on Cape Cod.

It was almost evening when we arrived.

We had dinner at the Old Yarmouth Inn. We were lucky to get a table as they had a large wedding reception this night. It was beautiful on the outside and inside and had excellent food. A large part of the restaurant had red toile wallpaper . . . loved it!

We stayed at a very nice Bed and Breakfast . . .  The King's Inne. The innskeepers are from England and have this beautiful home they share with tourists like us.  We enjoyed our time with them, and, of course, they served up a lovely breakfast which we shared in the dining room with another young couple from Florida.

Our room was lovely

{Sorry for the bad lighting . . . 

I had to take these pics at night before we messed up the room :).}

After our wonderful breakfast we took a morning walk down the main street of Yarmouthport. Unfortunately, some of the little shops I would like to have visited were closed. This time of year, in such a small town, the shop owners have flexible hours. We enjoyed the sun, the calmness, the architecture and beautiful hydrangeas.

 Lots of pretty hydrangeas in Cape Cod; the PeeGees were gigantic!

We came across this amazing old book store. 
These books are just kept outside, even when they're closed. 
I picked out some old books and hoped they would be open before we left town.

 Yeah, they were open! 

{But, I had already decided if they were not open, 

I would buy the books and put the money under the door ~ 

I'm sure you can do that here ~ life is different . . . 

more laid back ~ a step back in time, 

but with all of the modern conveniences.}

 So many books  . . . stacks and stacks of old books.

I immediately thought of my son-in-law, Reed; he would have loved it.

I took more pics for him.
