Day 21 – South to Falmouth and Wood’s Hole on Cape Cod in Massachusetts

We arrived at Cape Cod about 1030am and Jim took us on a tour of WHOI (Wood’s Hole Oceanographic Institute) and surrounding area.


The WHOI Exhibition Center had a full size mock up of “Alvin” , the WHOLI deep diving 3 person submarine. This gave us the opportunity to see how Jim felt for 8 hours on a recent opportunity he had to do some experiments on the ocean floor in Alvin.


After our tour, the girls wanted to hit the beach to check out some of the local guys. Well … about 2 minutes after this picture was taken, it started to rain … ending all hope of finding “Mr. Right”.

That night after an enjoyable dinner at a Thai restaurant, we stopped at a festival being held in Falmouth, and spent a little time listening to some big band sounds. The rain turned things a little chilly 53F (11C) so it was not a pleasant experience for our girls from sunny, warm Thailand (or me … for that matter).
