Cap cod on the 4th of July

July 4, 2011 Leave a comment

Started the morning with the local 4th of July parade in Sandwich , headed to Hyannis main street to do some shopping and great parade.
Finally managed to buy microsim card for the iPad and iPhone with AT&T great service and quick , which I cannot say about t-mobile or radio shack .

Then arrived to the harbour to finally eat our lunch and dinner at the best place to eat seafood “Spanky’s”. While waiting for a table about 45 minutes we walked on the art and craft walkway. If you wonder if it’s worth to wait for a table at Sparky’s I can definitely say YES!!!!!

Just check the dish.

What happened between 2005 to 2011 in the USA

July 4, 2011 Leave a comment

On our way from Boston down to cape cod we decided to take a detour to “Fall river” – what our guide book said to be the biggest outlet shopping area in new England and MA. It’s an hour and half from Boston, but an outlet haven is and outlet haven. When we Arrived we found it very difficult to find the famous outlet park and we thought our GPS was just malfunctioning, but alas, it was correct :( (
The thing is, that our book was compiled in 2005 and between then and today, well, there was the biggest recession in decades and it like wiped the whole town, all we saw were empty for sale buildings, empty malls and the only things that were open were Kmart and WalMart, full of “White trash” extremely obese old people and skinny drunken people walking aimlessly in the huge supermarket.

A very depressing sight.

All we could do is to buy some food and drive as quick as we can from there towards Cape Cod.
