Highway to Happiness: Cape Cod

I want to remember the signs along the way to my beloved Cape. 

With  the luxury of H. driving  and Punch sleeping, I took down the names last night, starting somewhere in Connecticut before I fell asleep on Route 6 East, a sweet ribbon of road that cuts through Sandwich, Mashpee and other towns until it ends in Provincetown. We arrived close to 1:30 a.m. The llist, with my favorite wording and landmarks in bold:
