Cape Cod is the arm of Massachusetts that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean. It offers scenic views, fresh seafood, boating, fishing, shopping and exploring opportunities. Over 65 miles long with 15 distinct townships, Cape Cod is more than a single place to stay.
Hotels on Cape Cod range from single room overnight to national chains such as Radisson and Sheraton. The most common accommodations to be found on Cape Cod is the motel. These drive-in motor hotels offer the best value. Often run by owner/managers, they not only offer clean, comfortable and private accommodations but the owners usually have knowledge of the local area that can greatly enhance your stay.
It is comforting to be able to ask the owner questions like: Where is the best beach? or Where should I go to get a good lobster without paying too much? or What company should I contact to go on a whale watch? To receive friendly and valuable advice, from a local resident, can only help your vacation become a memorable experience.
Since Cape Cod is a long stretch of land, the best place to stay would be near the center so you are not too far from any part you may want to visit. This includes the artists' colony of Provincetown, at the very tip of the Cape, and the villages of Falmouth and Sandwich which are at the other end...near the mainland. The largest metropolitan area is Hyannis which is located in the village of Barnstable. Here you will find malls and other shopping opportunities as well as traffic and congestion.
One town that is centrally located and that meets the criteria of being near all the attractions that a Cape Cod visitor would want to see, is Harwich which includes Harwich Port and West Harwich.
Located on the warmer waters of Nantucket Sound, the Harwich area is known for its great fishing as well as for being a departure point for the ferry boats to Nantucket Island.

Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary (Mass Audobon) is a wonderful nature preserve on Cape Cod. It is located in South Wellfleet, just off the 28. The sign is very small as is the turn off from the main road. We missed the exit and I imagine a lot of people do ...
A short drive takes you to the main parking lot. Entrance fee is four dollars. We chose to take the spring loop and then take the boardwalk down to the ocean. The spring loop took us around a small brook. ALl the trails here are well kept and anyone can handle them. The highlight was seeing seven or eight turtles enjoying the sun on a log half submerged in water. They could care less about us passing by. The path to the beach leads through a marshy area. Once you are on the boardwalk, look down, you will see a multitude of crabs and other creatures from the water's edge. The tide started rolling in as we were crossing this area. This was like watching a live wildlife show. As the tide rolled in, the tiny animals scurried to their dwellings.
It was horse shoe crab mating season (Memorial Day). There were hundreds of horse shoe crabs going at it. Many people came just to see this cool event. On our way back we noticed that the boardwalk was submerged in water due to the high tide. This made it even more fun because we had to wade through ankle deep water ...
I strongly recommend visiting the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Perfect way to spend a few hours on Cape Cod.

Autumn on Cape Cod
Cape Cod - not just a Summer Destination. See why Autumn on Cape Cod can be so special.
Autumn.
The word itself evokes peace and change.
Wedged squarely between two rather extreme seasons, Autumn on Cape Cod represents three months of beauty and bliss.
Replacing the long hot days and warm waters of summer is a glorious annual display of transitional color all around us. In the leaves, the marsh grasses, the water and the sky.
Day time temperatures warm up nicely in the fall and the light is as extraordinary as ever. Clear bright skies and intricate cloud formations mix perfectly with the autumn’s colorful palette making hikes and rides of all kinds a joy for all the senses.
Autumn is also harvest time on Cape Cod. Pumpkins of course, along with an array of fruits and vegetables, including a local favorite cranberries. Cranberry bogs come to life in autumn on the Cape as growers ready their crop for local farm stands and cranberry lovers across the country.
The holiday spirit is also in the air. Colorful pumpkin patches, scary costumes and haunting displays mean Halloween is on its way. Soon after, it is the smell of roast turkey and a time when we all stop and give thanks.
Thanks for all that we have and for this glorious season called Autumn.

Rethinking Pei: A Centenary Symposium, Panel 3: Power, Capital, and People
Panel 3 Participants:
Seng Kuan, moderator
Edward Eigen: “I. M. Pei and the ‘Big Plan’: The Several Lives of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum”
André Bideau: “Between the Superblock and the Pyramid. I. M. Pei and Araldo Cossutta at La Défense”
Cole Roskam: “The Fragrant Hill Hotel: Reassessing the Politics of Tradition and Abstraction in China’s Early Reform Era”
Shirley Surya: “Pei's Office and Singapore's Urban Core: Corporate Architecture, Symbolic Aestheticization and Economic Pragmatism”
Kellogg Wong: “I. M. Pei & Partners, the Pei Team, and Singapore”
A two-part symposium examining the work and life of I. M. Pei from multiple vantage points. Organized by the Harvard GSD with M+, Hong Kong, and the Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong.
Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most celebrated yet under-theorized architects of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Although Pei’s six-decade career is mostly identified with his unwavering interest in cultural synthesis and the power of pure geometrical form, his modes of practice demand further investigation of their intertwinement with the multiple historical and discursive moments of modern architecture. The two-day symposium will include panel discussions and scholarly presentations that showcase new research on Pei’s manifold contributions to the built environment. Notable alumni from Pei’s office will discuss the emergence of a new kind of architectural practice in the postwar era. Among the topics to be addressed in the paper sessions are technological innovations with concrete, the glass curtain wall, and structural designs; Pei’s longstanding affinities for China’s landscape and vernacular traditions; his legacy on major urban spaces in Boston and other cities around the world; and the increasingly global and transnational conditions of architectural production that Pei successfully navigated. Organized with M+, the new museum for visual culture being built in Hong Kong, this symposium is part of a yearlong celebration of the 100th birthday of Ieoh Ming (I. M.) Pei MArch ’46. Both I. M. and his wife, Eileen Pei GSD ’44, studied at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, as did their sons Chien Chung (Didi) Pei, AB ’68, MArch ’72, and Li Chung (Sandi) Pei, AB ’72, MArch ’76. Pei was also an assistant professor of architecture at the GSD. In March the GSD held a panel discussion, led by Harry Cobb AB ’47, MArch ’49, which focused on the formative years of I. M. Pei’s career as well as some of his special friendships, influences, and projects.
A second symposium, co-organized by M+ and the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong, will be held in Hong Kong on December 14-15.
These two symposia are made possible with the generous support of the C Foundation.

SUMMARY
=======
The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer, pronounced [bɛʁˈliːnɐ ˈmaʊ̯ɐ] (listen)) was a guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany), starting on 13 August 1961, the Wall cut off (by land) West Berlin from virtually all of surrounding East Germany and East Berlin until government officials opened it in November 1989. Its demolition officially began on 13 June 1990 and finished in 1992. The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, accompanied by a wide area (later known as the death strip) that contained anti-vehicle trenches, fakir beds and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the will of the people in building a socialist state in East Germany.
GDR authorities officially referred to the Berlin Wall as the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart (German: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall). The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the Wall of Shame, a term coined by mayor Willy Brandt in reference to the Wall's restriction on freedom of movement. Along with the separate and much longer Inner German border (IGB), which demarcated the border between East and West Germany, it came to symbolize physically the Iron Curtain that separated Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War.Before the Wall's erection, 3.5 million East Germans circumvented Eastern Bloc emigration restrictions and defected from the GDR, many by crossing over the border from East Berlin into West Berlin; from there they could then travel to West Germany and to other Western European countries. Between 1961 and 1989 the Wall prevented almost all such emigration. During this period over 100,000 people attempted to escape and over 5,000 people succeeded in escaping over the Wall, with an estimated death toll ranging from 136 to more than 200 in and around Berlin.
In 1989 a series of revolutions in nearby Eastern Bloc countries—Poland and Hungary in particular—caused a chain reaction in East Germany that ultimately resulted in the demise of the Wall. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on 9 November 1989 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the Wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. Over the next few weeks, euphoric people and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the Wall; the governments later used industrial equipment to remove most of what was left. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which formally took place on 3 October 1990.
