Cape Cod - It's One Big Clambake. If you're a fan of New England's most beloved peninsula, this is the tshirt for you.  Design features the bold slogan along with a couple of lobster claws, gripping the letters for good measure. You know that once you cross the Bourne or Sagamore Bridge, you can leave your troubles "off-Cape" and let the good times roll.

According to Chris:

I've been to Cape Cod a few times, and I really like it.  My main impression -- it was a lot less touristy/kitschy, and a lot more genuine and bucolic than I expected.  I first went out there on a 2-day trip with a girlfriend, and we made it out as far as Chatham, which I've revisited and is my favorite place on the Cape -- it's out on "The Elbow" -- and it's just a beautiful town.  The first time I was there, I bought a baseball cap from The Chatham Squire, a great bar/restaurant, which I loved.  I was really sad when I lost the hat about a year later, and thrilled when I got to re-buy one 7 years later!  I also had a giant Stuffed Quahog there, which is a gigantic clam stuffed with chopped clam, bread crumbs, and other seafood.  Delish.  Anyway, on my most recent trip, with my friend Heidi (Miss Boston), I finally, finally made it to the very end of Cape Cod, and the tower out by Provincetown and the "Province Lands Visitor Center" - really beautiful.  One quick note of disappointment here.  I have been to the Western End of US Highway 6, in Bishop, California.  Driving east out of Bishop in 2002, I pulled over in the middle of the desert to snap a picture of the sign reading "PROVINCETOWN, MA 3,205 MILES" -- so here I am, finally 3,205 miles on the other end, and... NOTHING. No sign saying End US6, no sign saying 3,205 to Bishop, the road just peters out into a cul-de-sac, no fanfare. Cape Codders, you've got to do something about that.  I'll pitch in for the monument!

Anyway, I've also gone to the beach at Truro, had lunch in Wellfleet, and pretty much stopped in every town on 28 and 6A.  I also really liked Hyannis and Falmouth (ok, those are a little touristy), I ate dinner at Mashpee Commons, and I got to see Woods Hole -- there is no "hole" there, I looked for it -- which is the same story as Jackson Hole (See "Wyoming, Area Code 307") -- and got a glimpse of Martha's Vineyard, which I hope to visit soon.  And... oh yeah...

I WENT TO A CLAMBAKE!  Heidi and her friends, family, like 200 people from the town, went down to a beach, built a pit, built a fire, put seaweed in it, everyone put their food into pillowcases or burlap sacks, and a few hours later, it was a feast of clams, lobster, sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes, the whole nine.  And I do like lobster, but it was a TON of work, me fumbling and cutting myself on the shell, to get about 3 good mouthfuls... I think I'll just pay the $32.95 next time to have the restaurant do it for me!  But it was a really fun time, and for a couple of days at least, I really had the true Cape Cod experience.  Cape Cod, you rock!  Can't wait to get back.
