After waking up in Ogunquit and enjoying a lesiurely breakfast as the hotel (surrounded by many French speaking Canadians), we wandered the town and found a few more geocaches. One of them was quite creative and we're contemplating reusing the same idea . . . then it was time to hit the road again as we wanted to make Boston by lunchtime. A HUGE storm sort of interferred with that, it was a fairly late lunch, however our travels were safe and that was the most important part. We got to the Sam Adams brewery area just after 1 o'clock and got tickets for the 2 o'clock tour which meant we had time to eat if we did so locally. Luckily they had an interesting restaurant right there in Jamaica Plain named Ula Cafe. We enjoyed a bowl of veggie soup (it was cold after being rained on)
Ryan and I both enjoyed their roast beef sandwich
while Aaron checked out the Sweet Potato sandwich.
Everything was very tasty! Aaron even bought a pastry or two for later . . .
Then it was off to the brewery for their tour. While the tours are free, they do requests donations which support local charities. Not a problem for us! After a short, yet extremely informative tour of the beer making process, it was off to the sampling room. Yes, it was good beer (even if it isn't a good picture)!
Next was a whirlwind tour of Boston Commons (yes I did have my picture taken with the ducklings) before heading out to the Cape. We didn't make it all the way out to the tip today, and spent the night in West Dennis where we found an extremely tasty restaurant on the water where we had, what else, more seafood!
We started out with crab cakes and fresh clams (crab cakes were phenomenal, the clams were a bit gritty even after rinsing).
Ryan and Aaron both enjoyed lobster rolls . . .
while Tracy indulged in some (haddock) fish and chips.
(Sorry about the poor quality of these pictures - we'd forgotten the regular camera at the hotel and lighting was not very good.)
After that we poured our tired selves into bed knowing we had a 6 am wakeup in mind to make it to the tip of the Cape the next morning before heading back towards Rhode Island and home . . .
