Time passes by so quickly

Well, here I am, home from my little Provincetown excursion. Had a great time. I just wish it was not a 9+ hour drive.

Already plans are in the works for next year. Knowing what to expect and what to do for future trips makes it much easier.

I've always loved exploring little seaside towns, but P-Town takes this to a different level. It's what Rehoboth in Delaware should be, but has lost a bit of it's charm from being surrounded by shopping-on-steroids outlet malls and big box stores and every manner of chain restaurants bordering the insular little village like barbarians at the gates. Provincetown and it's line of serially-attached towns along the cape will have nothing to do with generic, all-conquering retail and hotel hell. The charm, energy and identity of the area is plainly evident in just about every square foot of the place.

Not to mention, there is some serious fucking eye candy to be found in so many places. So many muscles, so little time. lol

So, I have bid Provincetown a farewell, with hopes of returning somedays soon. Most likely it's gonna be bear week (an event that finds it's way into local tourist booklets due to it's size and popularity) next year.

I can't wait.

Good gods, you're home already! Glad you had a good time. I'm driving up to Wellfleet on Monday.

Oh well. Perhaps if you're around again, we'll meet up for drinks/food.

Pax!

I keep on going to Boston, and keep on missing Provincetown. One of the problems is I don't know many people there. Might have to fix that by going during Bear Week myself one of these years!

the last time I was in P-town (1998) we took old Highway 6 to the tip, which was a wonderful experience. We went thru many old towns, stopped at many different places, including one town where a group that was doing a whole 18th century bit at the local cemetary where I learned how to dye cloth with onion skins. That was a very fun time indeed. Rob has never been to P-Town.....yet.

I hate Rehoboth. Possibly my least favorite beach on the planet.

Coming from the south... it's just not a beach.

I'm used to South Carolina beaches where the dunes roll into the ocean and you can walk 100 feet into the ocean and stand on a dune and the water will be at your knees.

Now that's a beach.
