(July, 2009)
We were recently in Provincetown, MA, a.k.a. p-town. This delightful getaway from the Houston weather is a sand spit which gets more exciting the closer you get to the tip. It is an impossibly fun town built on a location formed by sand bars, waves and grass. And there is plenty to do, on land or in the water.
The in-beach is Herring Cove Beach. This is the strip of sand I recommend for losing yourself in, finding someone else in, or gazing at the sparkling ocean lapping at the pebbles.
Provincetown began as an artist colony. And it still is. See Miss Richfield (1981) in the Art House. He/she is a sputtering and dependable volcano of hilarious off-hand remarks. 214 Commercial Street, Provincetown.
Stay in the most GLBT friendly bed and breakfast that is so close to the ocean it is almost under-water: The Prince Albert Guest House.
Provincetown, MA is filled with friendly tourists and a party atmosphere 'till Labor Day. When you are worn out from too much sun and refreshing salty waves at the beach, take in a gallery, or two, or many. See the Julie Heller East and Julie Heller Gallery.
Bring plenty of sun-block and allow enough time to soak in the beach which gently curves towards the light-house.
About Me
- Jim
- Although I have never worked as a programmer, I earned a B.S. in applied computer science with a minor in music, graduating May 20, 1989. Several months after that I moved to San Francisco from New Hampshire so that I could spread my wings and become a little less provincial. I strive every day to make the world a little better, and to improve myself a little more. And "better" is a relative term, so, you can read my blogs to discover my opinion of what is better, and, consequently, what's worse.
