Some Cape Cod vacation tips: Falmouth edition

Here are a few things we learned about Falmouth this week:

• The Falmouth Public Library has an excellent children's room. Visitors can take out a "courtesy card" that allows up to 6 items at once. We've borrowed books, DVDs and museum passes, which provide discounted or free admission to local attractions (Cape Cod Childrens Museum, Plimoth Plantation, etc.)
• There is a farmers market from May-October on Thursdays downtown. In May-June, the selection is limited, consistent with the New England growing season, but there are fresh breads, seafoods and coffee available. It sure looks like greater variety would be evident later in the summer.
• The Shining Sea Bikeway is excellent, and has been extended another 6 miles north.
• There are no 24-hour laundromats in Falmouth. The three laundromats open early, but close by 10 (last load at 9). Town Laundry on Main Street has a TV and free wi-fi.

More to come. Maybe.
