Hyannis, Cape Cod and Windsurfing in October

Wind and surf  "sunny-side up"

Some of the photographs taken on holiday last October in Hyannis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA.

The weather was extremely good for this time of the year, so we were able to walk miles around the coast, see the cranberry bogs and eat lots of delicious seafood.

Lunch at Spanky's Clam Shack Hyannis Harbour

Toot and I would highly recommend a seafood lunch at Spanky's Clam Shack. Great food at competitive prices. Excellent location next to the harbour quay and on a sunny day you can eat outside.  The 'steamers' dipped in melted butter, the deep fried oysters and scallops, and the lobster roll were our favourites and should not be missed on any visit to the harbour. The local red beer is also very good and worth sampling in the sunshine.

The Kennedy Museum, Hyannis

Any visit to Hyannis would be incomplete without going to the John F Kennedy Museum in the High Street. It was particularly interesting as we were able to talk to one of the ladies who worked at the Museum and knew various members of the Kennedy Family. There were also references around the town to various American Celebrities:  Kenny Rogers, Tony Bennett, Frank Zapper and Jimi Hendrix, who presumably had property in or around Hyannis.

All in all, if the weather is good, a great place to visit!
