Ptown: Art, Sex, and Money on the Outer Cape by Peter Manso

Ptown: Art, Sex, and Money on the Outer Cape by Peter Manso was a very engaging book to read in the lead up to and time after our vacation to Provincetown. Manso has lived in Ptown since the 1950s and that put him in a unique position to chronicle the history of the town, which [...]

Weddings, Trek to a Lighthouse, Miss Richfield 1981 and the Final Day

Thursday was a jam packed day. As you may have already read, we were up early for the sunrise and we went to the Carnival parade. Between those events we took a expedition out to Long Point, which is truly the end of the road for Cape Cod. As we wrote about back on Wednesday [...]

Ptown Carnival Parade

Just a quick post for now. Today was the annual Provincetown Carnival Parade (to us it seemed like a Pride parade mixed with Mardi Gras). The theme was Wild, Wild West so you’ll see lots of cowboys in this video highlight reel we put together.

We did a lot of other stuff today too, including [...]

Sunrise Earth: Provincetown

There’s a cool show on Discovery HD called Sunrise Earth. As you might expect from the title, all you get to see is sunrise from various places around the world. We got up at 5 this morning to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful watching the color change in the sky, the gulls wake up, [...]

Trolleys, Stars, Boys in Bed and Rocks

We’ve had yet another great 24 hours (which I suppose is no surprise at this point).
Last night we had a great Mexican dinner with A.J., Marc and Mark and then walked around for a while checking out the goings on. It’s Carnival week here so there are tons of people out and about. We had [...]

Pilgrim Monument, Rainy Day, Buying Art

It’s been a pretty relaxed day. We got up late, if for no other reason than we could. We decided to head into to town and grab a little education, so we checked out the Pilgrim Monument, which is the tallest all-granite structure in the U.S. (it’s 252 feet, 7.5 inches). Why is there a [...]

Walking… and Steve Walker Art

We walked a lot of the main drag of the town today, about 1.5 miles or so (one way) between our Inn and the farthest point we got to. Commercial Street is where everything happens. It’s lined with shops, restaurants, galleries…everything. Today we mostly looked at shops, just poking around anything that looked interesting. We [...]

Friday Geek Out: The Art of Steve Walker

I discovered the Art of Steve Walker a few years ago because his work graced the cover of novels by Michael Thomas Ford. From the very first one I was struck by the composition of the paintings and the at-ease portrayal of men in them. These are all men comfortable in their own skin, comfortable [...]
