Chasing Capes

Beautiful Cape Neddick in Maine. We've been there a couple of times.

The other night I caught the 1962 black-and-white version of "Cape Fear" on TMC, with Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum and Polly Bergen. Loved it. I haven't seen the remake--the older one seemed less scary. I don't like to be terrified.

But that got me thinking about the name. I found out that Cape Fear is on the coast of North Carolina. And then that got me thinking about other capes I know and love. Please add to my list and expand my cape cache.

• Cape Cod. My most cherished vacation spot, off Massachusetts. My lifelong, lustrous, perfect pink pearl in the shell.
  
• Cape May.  All the way down the Garden State Parkway at the very tip of NJ--a place with Victorian homes, a big boardwalk and charming B&Bs.
• Cape Neddick. Magical spot in Maine with Nubble Lighthouse. Go there! 
• Cape Hatteras. H. planned a driving lighthouse tour for us the summer after we married. We stopped here to see the lights.

Wish list: Cape Canaveral. Kennedy Space Center; have never been, hope to go sometime.

Good night, sleep tight. Let's all imagine we're going to sleep, safely, by the sea.
