Walking the Cape Cod Canal

This morning Michael and I walked the Cape Cod Canal on the Cape side. Starting off at 9am this morning it was a little cool, but after a while it seemed hot out there and we were grateful for the occasional shade from a tree on the path. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed but people on bike/walking paths seem to be more friendly than on sidewalks in any city of town. When I live in Somerville and took the Minute Man bike path out to my parents in Billerica people would always be exchanging some sort of pleasantry. Ahh the days of 20 miles bike rides each way out to Alice and Gabe's house, what fun.

Here are some pictures I took this morning on the Canal pathway.
Here's the first tree that has completely changed color. It won't be long before all the trees change color.

I seem to remember a particular bike ride that involved 'drinking and riding'
