Half of the people in the photo were not born in the USA, two do not live there permanently, and one is not a citizen, or even interested in becoming one!

You’re all good people, that’s all that matters to me.
They wouldn’t like my three adult sons either, all are liberals.

My wife wears her 73 years far more gracefully than I do mine!

I know you're enjoying your well-deserved vacation!

Tears are already beginning to form. I am slowly beginning to understand why people retire.

What a lovely family photo.

Last year, we were ALL here:

Great photo, with everyone happy and having a wonderful time!

But with them, I really win the lottery.

A desperately needed battery recharging!

I can't imagine it getting the visits it used to get, but I never stop in West Falmouth, so that's just a guess.
Too bad we didn't know you were around. Who else was here from DU? I would have wanted to meet with one of greats as well. (no one here but us chickens....)

They are still diving and finding stuff from the Whydah, and sometimes Barry Clifford is there at the museum.

Cheers

For any fans of pirate stories and swashbuckling days of yore, chart your course to go see it!

Be thankful for your distance!

I wasn't telling you anything you didn't already know.

They take after my wife and daughter--although not in nature. They'll never become male models because they'd probably take a machete to a studio that did photos of them that they didn't like (and they are all of 2 and 4). Sandpipers in the sand, but Great Whites in the water.

We have graduated to the store-made ice cream of Sweet and Savory on Route 6 in Truro.

The "Key-Lime-Cheesecake" ice cream would be worth a trip from Bhutan on muleback, and we only had to come from Düsseldorf!

Sometimes the camera is kinder than we deserve.

In the dark days ahead, it will be our families and friends who will see us through.

That is why we choose a place in a galaxy far, far away from the usual haunts.

As it should be.

😀

Every year, the first day we get here, I say to my self, "this is going to go by so fast, we won't even notice it."

And so it has. In one month, I have to be 5000 miles southeast of here. By then Cape Cod will seem like a pleasant distant memory.

☺️

My sis reccentlyb got back from Cape Cod, hanging out with a friend.

But I hear it is indeed similar.

I visited P'town often. Check out Great Island in Wellfleet!











If you want to get away from the crowds, pack a lunch and water
have a day of peace on the Cape in mid-summer...

But maybe next year, we will run over there. Thanks for the tip!

But my sister and her wife, along with many friends and family usually make the pilgrimage there from NJ every summer.

I enjoyed it the one time, except for the traffic getting there and leaving.

Thanks for sharing.

Saturday morning, on Cape or off Cape

But once we're here, all is forgiven. Most of the traffic is for Hyannis or Chatham anyway. The Outer Cape is 90% for stupid fanatic like us, who really want to get away from it. Unfortunately, cruise ships occasionally dock at Provincetown, in which case the normally peaceful atmosphere is shattered by day tourists who really aren't interested in much beyond lobster rolls and salt water taffy. But they are usually gone by dinner time, and P-town reverts to being its usual quirky self.
