It's july and we found a christmas store in Provincetown. WTF, they even played Christmas music. It made me feel like I was in the twillight zone.

Here we are at the port in Provincetown.



We looked into getting a ferry ticket to visit emily keating in Boston but its 111 dollars each way and we would have no where to put the car for that long.

The top picture is of both (e:matthew) and I both in the process of taking pictures.



The other ones are just various dock pics.



Yesterday, we spent the day at the beach. Everyone is sun burned a bit. We met french kid, here is is with (e:matthew).



He had swam to shore from a boat in the ocean where he was cruising around with his rich patron friend, see below.



He was getting married to a lesbian for citizenship.



Later, we got to eat seafood slightly out of the city. It was much cheaper. (e:matthew) and I ate lobster, scallops, and steamers (long necked clams.) (e:terry) had an oyster po-boy which is a bizillion fried oysters on a sandwich. I have to say all our meals are far too low on vegtables. I keep coming back to the campsite and eating lots of fruit and salad.

Oh, and as fate would have it, we are staying at a Christian Family camp. The more we traveled around it, the more bible quotes we found hanging up.

Some father came over to us (e:matthew) and (e:terry) and said, "you guys arn't rowdy at all, when I was your age, camping was a case of beer and a chicken. We would just pass out on the ground." I thought to myself, "when I was their age, camping was a tab of acid and a candy necklace," but I kept it to myself.

Here we are at the beach. It was really hot out there and I got to get naked in sun again which is my favorite thing to do. If any of you have never tried swimming naked, go for it. It is really fun.

Provincetown is the gayest place in the world. There is also tasty food.



I feel bad for all the families on vacation that must have thought it was not so queer.

I am glad we aren't staying here. Everything is tourist priced. (e:matthew) ordered scallops for like 17 bucks.



Terry and I got the lunch special for 7.95 which was really bad. White bread, mayonaisse, white fish and canned clam chowder. Yuck. Total: 43.00 for not so tasty food.

It was called the mayflower family diner on commercial street. This town is definately a capitalist mecca.

Everybody in Provincetown seems into the Atkins [inlink]paul,519[/inlink] diet. Notice this sign from a soda-pop machine.

The water is very warm on the bay sidde of the cape. We got to see hermit crabs and little regular crabs all over the place. The water is that perfect mix of shallow and warm, like on the gulf of Mexico. I assume the other side will be colder.



We were wondering who lives here year round and how much a home costs. I would move here for sure, at least for summers. The only problem is there are really somany tourists, including us.

We are offcially on the cape after crossing a big iron bridge. The traffic leaving the island is insanee. It looks like a 4 mile long traffic jam. I would be so mad if I lived in one of these tourist areas.



Last night we met the laundromat woman, who came from Martha's Vineyard. She said she never goes back cause it's to hard with all the tourists.
That must be so strange to have you hometown tranformed into a tourist trap. I bet the people in Sedona, AZ feel the same.

On another note, I am having this crazy mobileexperience right now where I am mediating the capture of a silverfish in my bathroom at home over IM while traveling at 70 mph across cape code.

My brother (e:mike) is trying to battle it. I suggested a glass and a piece of paper to cover to open end. He is taking more drastic measures I believe.

His away message now says:
WalBumbalo: [AWAY] in the battle of my life with a silverfish in the bathtub, only one of us is coming out of there alive....probably the bug. Now all I need is some alcohol, a lighter, and a fuse......

I hope I see him again and that my house doesn't burn down!
