Together with American diplomats, Kathryn Koonce and David Rush, we invite you to take a look at American history and culture through storied Cape Cod. Yesterday, it was a place where the Mayflower first landed in North America in 1620, before continuing to Plymouth. Today, there is a thriving tourist scene for people who flock to its beautiful beaches, quaint villages, world class culinary tradition, and a diverse and inclusive social scene. Cape Cod has inspired countless artists including Jack Kerouac, Norman Rockwell, Jackson Pollock, Norman Mailer, and probably most famously Henry David Thoreau. Let find inspiration in here together!
