Provincetown Pilgrim Monument turns 100 in 2010
MaineWriter:
Great pictures, Paul. Thank you. This book has a great scene at the top of the tower and I highly recommend it...
Aloysius J. Gleek:
Thank you, Paul, for a wonderful view of the REAL THING!!
(Do you think any of those Pilgrim Tower souvenirs are salt and pepper shakers??) ::)

When I was in college, I read a very memorable essay written by a woman called "Provincetown Memoirs" and it was about the homes this woman had lived in her life, and several things stuck out in my mind.
One was her apartment in Paris (while I was there, I tried to look for the place), another is a place on Capri off Italy and the third was Provincetown. Until now, I could only imagine what the place looked like. She wrote of the gay men on the streets and of the man who lived next door and had a lively sex life. She made me want to go visit the place, though I have no idea what it's like, other than what she wrote about it.

Thanks, Marina. I wasn't sure if that one would come out at all.

Leslie, you didn't mention they were witches! There's always a touch of magic in Provincetown.

Wow, Del. Paris, Capri and Provincetown--hard to beat that trio.
It's certainly worth a visit, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation agrees. They dubbed Ptown one of their "2010 Dozen Distinctive Destinations".
