A little Hawaii at Nantasket Beach

Faces in Sand
Provincetown or P-Town as its known locally is located at the very tip of Cape Cod. It’s not a short drive to get there by any means but it is a unique destination. For one thing it’s home to the Dolphin Fleet, a well-known whale watch tour company. I’m told they are very successful with their trips out to Stellwagon Banks.
The town itself is very touristy, known for its arts and crafts think “Artist Colony”. A favorite trait of the town is it’s pet (read dog) friendly policy. Shops up and down Commerce Street have water bowls out for your leashed pets. We even saw a dog pulling his owner while the owner rode his skateboard..shades of Cesar Millan (Dog Whisperer) .
The other thing that P-Town is known for is gay pride. It is very accepting of alternate lifestyles. There are families and children side by side with lesbian couples and gay men. It’s a relaxed and easy atmosphere. Everyone is friendly.
We ate a Mojo’s, a little take out restaurant twice that day. Once for lunch and again for dinner. Lunch for me was a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich on whole wheat and dinner was the fried scallop plate. Lightly breaded, moist fresh scallops. Makes my mouth water just to think of it.
The day started out cloudy and cool and never really warmed up but eventually the sun did come out. We spent a relaxing day just wandering the town and the wharf area. No shopping this trip just enjoying the sights and indulging in a photo taking orgy.
Thanks to my friend Eric I have the lyrics to that song that kept running through my head. Willie Nelson’s On the Road Again. I think the 2nd verse says it all!
On the road again
Goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the road again
I think that should be my theme song.
But today’s post is a little housekeeping. I didn’t take the time to have pictures ready to share when I told you about the adventures I had just getting “on the road again” to get here. I had some pictures of the interior but I was lazy and did not take any outside. Well, I’m going to rectify that omission now.
Here’s the Valley Inn.
That’s just the entrance . The building spreads out from the entrance.
My unit is the 2nd floor just to the left of the entrance as you look at the picture.
One more picture of the front. I had to get the sign in.
Around the back is the swimming pool.
There’s a pool table and game room next to the towel room and changing rooms for the pool and that about sums up the resort. So let’s get to the Town Square.
The Town Square is basically a liitle shopping mall but it’s designed to function as more of a gathering place. It’s right next to a little pond called Corcoran’s Pond that has certainly been very popular with this hot weather.
Here’s the pond.
Ahhhh Summer on a pond..can’t beat it.
These kids know how to keep cool!
And there you have it. This was my introduction to Waterville Valley.
