We had tropical weather for our annual trip to Saquish Beach, Plymouth, MA, August 3-10, 2003. It rained every day, but it was warm and we had sun every day. We all slept in the cottage -- no tents.
Left: Teresa found the oldest grave of an ancester in the town cemetery in Sandwich (on Cape Cod): Ezra Perry. The inscription reads: "Here lies the body of Ezra Perry, Aged 64 years, died October 16, 1689."
Below: The group: Front: Teresa and Julius, Ray, Kathryn, Ben, John; Rear: Jake, Mary Gail, Andrew, Forrest, Catherine, Mary, Sarah and Keye
Above left: Mary Gail was our crustacean catcher: She shows off a crab. Above: We "rescued" a dying immature herring gull. Right above, Catherine and Forrest tried to rehab it under the cottage, feeding it potatoes. Left: Teresa and Mary at Perry & Burgess gravesites in Sandwich. Right: Mary braids Mary Gail's hair at cocktail hour. Below: we tried all kinds of creative ways to take baths -- MG sat in this tub for an hour. Below right: Teresa was ecstatic to find the Ezra Perry Grave. Mary and I got to share the moment.
