They were out in mass, yet the streets always are that crowded.

You do need to visit. You will have a blast.

back in '82. Fireworks and all! Definitely a blast!

It was my summer home.



Love...

The Cape in summer (especially the bay side) is fantastic. My mother's sister married a man whose family is from Boston (and they and my cousins lived up in NH). Was up there every summer and went to UMASS (in Amherst).

Funny story about that Provincetown trip is that during that summer, I was a new students counselor at UMASS and we had that July 4th weekend off. So 9 of us (yes 9!) jammed into an older VW bug that one of the counselors had (YES a bug - doable because of the bench seats both front and back) and drove from Amherst to Brewster (almost 170 miles) where her parents had a summer beach house. We stayed up in the big attic for the weekend and drove on to Provincetown for the 4th. Great time!

You all must have had to unfold yourselves from that car! I think I remember what it was like to be young and limber! Lol~ Good job.

They look tiny from the outside but I was surprised at how roomy they were inside with the bench seats (front and back). Plus this bug was a stick and no AC. The days of bench seats are long past now. It's almost 35 years later and no way trying to do that again.

But overall it was great! Thanks for the additional pictures.

Dayum, invite me along next time!

It was Carnival down there so it was a great way to end the week!

Will be going in a few weeks, after everybody leaves!

try NOT to grab the one designed by Paul Klee. Or is it Jackson Pollack?

Your posts saddens me. You belittle her for the way she dresses. You compare her to Cher, who I love. Your post is so typically denigrating and nauseating. Looks mean everything to you?

about image and appearance (and love) I was just making what was intended to be a lighthearted reaction to the photos you posted. Nothing mean at all. I will happily delete the post if you feel it is "denigrating" I certainly did not mean it that way.

No. Don't delete. There has been so much hatred of Hillary as a woman it gets hard to tread through it some days. Sorry I over reacted.

Some of my family lived in Ptown. It has special meaning to me. The free spirit there is awesome.

Around age 3-16? I miss it sooooooo much!!!

My Gram in Ptown.

Loved it there. Such free spirits.

Ohhhh, some sweet memories there....

*sniffle*.

Adam's Pharmacy in the background.

LOL...I use to buy my lipstick there. It was called grapefruit, almost white. My mom said I looked like a corpse. Me, I was polite....I said thanks mom!

Oh, and that whole Kick and Rec thing.

Hillary looks so relaxed and happy. And Cher is still so lovely.

I visit often.....and love it!

I miss it.

It was great.

Cool.

She got a huuuuuge welcome there. Love that Cher was there as well.

It was typically held on the second or third weekend in October. It started at Plymouth Rock and ended in Provincetown. It was 80 miles long broken intor 8 legs of varying distance. I always ran of two legs. One was the second leg, a 9 miler, that went past the Pilgrim Nuclear power plant and up the steepest hill on the Cape. The hand off zone for the next leg was near the McDonald's before the bridge. Although the 7th leg that went through Truro and Wellfleet, a 13.8 mile leg, was the leg that I ran most years.

It was a great event. The whe team followed in cars after we ran our leg. I miss it and the Cape.

That is one hell of a run.

Cape Cod, lots of traffic. Yet you get to the shore and listen to the waves, you know peace.

Thanks for the post. I am missing the place more and more talking about it here.

Thanks for the pics!
