Cape Life

So I am in my third week here on the Cape. The lifestyle is just how I expected it. Very down to earth and chill. All the radio stations seem to be behind times and of course playing beachy music. I feel the most popular song here is Sound of Sunshine by Michael Franti. I hear it daily. Also I heard Rusted Root on the radio. I haven't heard them in years! Random. But its great. Live that style of music.

I walk the beach daily, sometimes multiple times a day. My time to reflect and listen to the waves. Very relaxing to me, although I have to walk around the mountains of seaweed. But just listening and watching the waves just make me at peace. Many people are out doing the same and are so friendly. Everyone says hi and wants to talk and find out where you are from and what brings you here. It's a nice change of pace. You never know what you will see on the beach. It's a surprise every time.

Not having a gym has been very tough. I like lifting things up and putting them down apparently. But I have found myself doing very different workouts and running a lot. I've gotten smaller which I don't like, but I'm definitely getting leaner and quicker. I can handle that. Once I get back to the gym, watch out.

A group of us have started the Sunday Funday club and its been great. We have lots of activities planned. Keep an eye out for pics of course.

Being away from the Bay has been tough, but I am definitely getting used to the Cape Life.

Welcome to the Cape

This is what I hear on a daily basis. On the radio, in the store, the big shrub that is at the end of the bridge, and everyone around. People love their Cape. And I can see why, as you can too from the abundance of pictures I have been posting on Facebook and instagram. It is very beautiful and everyone is very relaxed. It is quite a different lifestyle compared to that of Albany and Boston. I would hear sirens on a daily basis and I have heard one here. Guess that means I'm safe.

Driving here with the sunroof and windows open, I step out of my car and the smell of the ocean made me smile. One of my favorite smells. The sun was shining and Jimmy Buffet was on the radio. What's not to like?!

The place is very quiet and I've been told it will get very busy. Buy everything you need in bulk so you don't have to drive anywhere. (Note to self). Many of the houses are "smaller" until you walk the beach and see the houses that are called "cottages". Pretty obnoxious since they are used 3 months a year. But hey, if you got the money, why not. Someone must have a hot, single daughter I can marry!

That's it for now. There will be plenty more to come, as well as pictures.

I end with this: what kind of shoes do pedophiles wear? White Vans
