PTown Trip, Part 2

I'd spotted this really cool garden last year when we were walking back to the car.  It was so humid and I was so drenched with sweat that I didn't want to walk up to see it but I made a mental note to see it this year.

Look at the size of that geode! And the quartz ball on top!

There were all kinds of neato things in the walls and in the garden.


Metal sculptures.


LOVE!

If there was a name on the house I would consider requesting a private tour so that I could photograph the whole place.

This was back on the main street (Commercial Street).

We ate lunch here.  Yum.

Never noticed these Pennsylvania Dutch roosters on the pavement before but they were all over the place!


We walked out on MacMillan Wharf this year.  It's full of artists and you get the whale watch boats and ferries here too.

Can you believe that I didn't buy a single thing for myself this year?  I'm just as surprised as you!


Didn't go in.  The Whydah was a ship that sank off the Cape in the 1800s and the famous treasure hunter and shipwreck locator, Barry Clifford, found it in the 80s.  It was a big deal around here when he brought the ship's bell to the surface.



Yeah, no, on second thought, ain't walkin' up there. Nope nope nope.




*Eyebrow waggle*




She & I ate here last year but I didn't notice this window.  It's hard to tell, but that's the US Post Office's old 1960s mascot, Mr. Zip, or 'Zippy', with a drink tray. 

On the Shop Therapy wall outside.  I didn't get a pic of the store this year but I do have it from last year. We went in and I got a tshirt for Axe's daughter.


I hope you enjoyed this little trip to PTown!

Road Trippin' to PTown, Part 1

Last week my stepdaughter & I took our second annual PTown trip on a gloriously warm, dry day.  When we got there I actually entertained the thought of going up to the top of Pilgrim Monument but then chickened out as we got closer.  I figured the hike up the hill to the base would do me in, nevermind all those stone steps to the top.  It was grueling in the 80s when I was 20 years old and in shape.



We were so bummed that Spiritus wasn't open yet.  I really thought they would be by 11 but sadly they were not.  Their pizza was always the best.

Wanted every last thing in the glass store.





Tourist trolley.




Thought this was a cute idea!


Went into this store this year.....it was cute but 'best store ever'?  Um......no.


This was in the officially licensed 'Life is Good' store.

Wanted.  Didn't get.

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES DISCLAIMER FOR NEXT PHOTO!!  Provincetown is the Cape's premier LGBT community.  Therefore, the art and theatre scene often reflects that.
