Cape Cod Day 1 - Meteor Shower (8/12)

On Saturday night we headed over to Marconi Station to watch the Perseid meteor shower. We got there a bit before darkness fell and were treated to a nice sunset. As the daylight retreated we could hear a single Whip-Poor-Will calling from the nearby woods. We only saw a few meteors (they are supposed to be best just before dawn) but the view of the starry sky from the observation deck was worth the trip.
