We ate one meal at the Grumpy Grouper. It's a fish-net-on-the-wall place, with lots of seafood and good service. But I'm not much of a fish-eater, so I ordered the hamburger.
It's been decades since I've been to Cape Cod. One trip, we went all the way to Provincetown and camped a couple of days. I checked through my mental snapshots and I can't bring up a picture of Chatham. It must be time to go back. I like to hear those people talk. Wish I knew what they were saying.
