New England Shore Enjoying Hyannis, MA

The Trekkers has an action packed day off in  Hyannis, MA yesterday.
Sunday's update from Wendy and Becky: The group went swimming and the water was so refreshing even with the seaweed at our feet.  We did some biking around town, ate ice cream and tried not to be eaten by the mosquitoes that were out in full force. Cliff (Teen Treks director) surprised us with one last visit by appearing over a hill on his bike.  He joined us for dinner at the campsite and chatted with everyone.  In the evening, we explored the Sandwich State Park grounds, which are beautiful and shady.  We has lots of little adventures with bugs and showers at night and then had a campfire.  Camping is fun but we cant wait to get to the hotel tomorrow. Both girls send their love (and lots of giggles)!
From Kate (Leader): Yesterday the group visited some sand banks, then got some afternoon ice cream.  After that, we went to the Cape Cod Potato Chip factory for a tour.  The group loved the samples, and ate so many that they actually decided they were "potato chipped out' for the day.  Afterwards, the group visited the Hyannis Maritime Museum, where they got a tour of the boathouse from a knowledgeable guide who took interest in the group as a fellow cyclist!  Afterwards, the group returned to their hotel and relaxed, took showers etc before going out to dinner for seafood (chicken for those who don't like fish).

Off to Wooster, MA today.  Agenda is up in the air, but there is a bike shop in town we will be visiting.
