Oenophiles have one choice on the Cape, but it is nearby, at Truro Vineyards, where free tours can lead to a tasting of chardonnay or cabernet franc. Others craving the indoors could do well to choose one particular shop, Herridge Books, of Wellfleet, which features in its window such volumes as "On the Road," by Jack Kerouac, "Hugging the Shore," by John Updike, and "Oh, the Place You’ll Go," by Dr. Seuss.

No matter your choice, it will soon be time to go somewhere else. So turn south on Route 6 again, more focused now on heading for home. Wait! It is worth a last stop, at The Hot Chocolate Sparrow, in Orleans, for a jolt of strong coffee, or a double-scoop of Death by Chocolate. Not a bad way to end it all.
