We are back in Wellfleet for the next 10 days. Right now, it is my husband, my sister, my niece, and me. Later this week, we will be joined by my nephew, who is currently driving cross country to move home from Montana, and two of his three Montana roommates, who came with him to keep him company on the drive. We are staying on the beach in an old historic home, which is good because we won't have to drive much now that we are here. The house is very quirky. Here it is from the beach (I think I have posted this picture here before)
Here's the kitchen area.
Many of the board games up there were donated by us over the years. It's hard to get a spot at this house because it is usually being used by members of the extended family that owns it. It's a great place to hang out, but not a great place to cook, so I think we are going to be eating out most of the time.
Our first dinner, per tradition, had to be at Mac's Shack. They don't take reservations (most places in Wellfleet do not) and the wait was crazy, which seemed odd because we have certainly been here when it is busier. Once we were seated we found out why: they took out at least half of the tables--I assume due to short staffing. Here's the line for the bar. It goes inside and around the bend there.
After 40 (!!!!) minutes in line, my husband and sister returned with their drinks, plus a mocktail for my niece (she is now old enough to drink, but chooses not to.)
All in all, it took about 90 minutes to be seated. Luckily we were not doing anything else that night. Oysters
Spicy tuna mango martini
A maki special of shrimp tempura with striped bass, avocado and aguachile sauce
Fried oyster plate
Seared scallops with green curry sauce, pickled beech mushrooms, bok choy and rice.
Moon over Wellfleet harbor.
