Memorial Day Week-end, and Cape Cod was DEAD, compared to years past.
No lines of traffic on the main thoroughfares.
No wait for a table for four at any restaurant.
No packed parking lots at the movie theatres.
No "No Vacancy" signs on the little B&B's that dot Rte. 6A.

No long lines at the gas pumps...

Any one else notice this?

1. The traffic was awful coming home on Monday
Otherwise, it was very quiet. We noticed that there were many more European tourists than in years past. Normally, they come later in the season.

2. Fascinating
I will be there in July. In 3 weeks I'll be in Storyland in NH and am wondering what the crowds will be like.

3. Seems like a lot of people chose to go nowhere on Memorial Day but, instead,
did things around their neighborhood or worked on their yard, etc.

I think things will pick up as the summer progresses because a lot of people are going to drive to a vacation spot
rather than fly (if they go at all). At least, this is what I'm hearing around town.
