The main purpose of the trip East this year was to join classmates and friends for a week in a nice place and just enjoy each other’s company and the place around us.
We (particularly the Downeys) chose Chatham, located at the outside edge of the crook of the Cape Cod “elbow.” Again, for those who could benefit from orientation, here’s an overhead of Chatham. The red oval marks the location of the house in which we were staying.
Pictures, of course, do it more justice.
Some of the house had been the c.1850 homestead of Captain Isaac Loveland. Ken and Debbie Hamberg, Ed Hattauer and Jackie Hewitt, and I each took one of the three rooms in the “stables” (below and just out of the picture above to the right).
This was my “stall.”
Inside of the main house wasn’t too shabby either. Here’s the kitchen.
Seven bedrooms, each with bath, plus a half-bath.
Here’s a gallery of photos of the interior of the main house.

We also spent a lot of time outside, often for dinner. A gallery of the outside space.
At one point, while some of us were sitting outside, we had visitors.
This was at our last dinner at the house.
That dinner featured my annual martini with Tom. This year, purple!
Among our meals, of course, was lobster, in both whole and roll forms. This was my lobster roll.
We got out and did some things, too. That’s in the next post.
