Just some news from Provincetown, MA
Getting nostalgic for the Cape.
We will likely be going to California this year as it is 1,000 miles closer and as we will be driving, as vacation time is limited. California is nice, beautiful seacoast but Cape Cod is my happy place.
The National Seashore is a Treasure.
We always loved hiking the dunes and driving out to the beach oversand with our truck.
This summer has NOT been at all like the summers I used to love. They may be a thing of the past.
Just a few more pics...in no particular order...

For some reason this year, I was fascinated with all the many narrow alleyways/driveways/walkways between buildings. Many of them lead to the protected bay where boats are moored.
As always, on a clear day you can see forever blue.
