Provincetown was the first place the Pilgrims landed in the New World. They promptly got back on the boat and headed to Plymouth since there was no fresh water to be had there. Modern Provincetown has its water piped in and is a thriving tourist destination. According to our guide, Provincetown is 50% homosexual. I believe his estimate to be low. There are some nice stores offering a wide variety of clothes, jewelry and leather goods. The ice cream was excellent and the Portuguese bakery was good. I found the public library and they had a BOOK SALE going on. We bought yet another cookbook.
There's a nice wharf in the harbor where Stacey found some sea turtle earrings. She put them on immediately but refused the little rubber keepers for the back. By evening, she'd lost one.
In the center of Provincetown, there is a tall shaft commemorating the Pilgrims landing. I'm going to stop now.
