Ptown
Michael arranged to take us for an overnight trip to Provincetown. This is an amazing town at the very end of Cape Cod, where in the summer it is gayest place in Massachusetts! The weather we had brought to Boston followed us, cold, wet and a bit windy. That said we enjoyed every minute of this wonderful place and vowed to come back in the real summertime. We stayed at Michael's friend Bill's house, just a few minutes from the main street of Ptown. The architecture was gorgeous, the water scenes amazing, we have fallen in love with weatherboard houses and the lush gardens continue to inspire us.
Yesterday we spent in Boston city, taking a Duck tour which is an amphibious vehicle so we went on the Charles River as well as along the streets. It was a great (and fun) way to see Boston in a short time and hear some of the history of the early Americans. We then went along Newbury St, poking into the shops along the way :)
Out for dinner to have hibatchi, which was fun! The cats are finally deciding we are Ok and Buddy still beleives that Dira will let him pinch a dog cookie again if he gives her his sad look. We are reluctant to leave here, one because we would love to stay longer and see more of the New England area and two, we are now heading west for the first time which means we are on our way home...

The Atlantic Ocean - Cape Cod
It was a cold day when I dipped my fingers into the Atlantic on the USA side for the first time.
Salt Marsh sea wall
This wall stretches for a mile across the harbor protecting a grass salt marsh. It was high tide when we went there so not a blade of grass to be seen but Michael assured us it was true!
