Provincetown Pilgrim Monument turns 100 in 2010
Meryl:
Thanks for those wonderful views from and of the Monument, Paul. Brings back our idyllic weekend last summer. Hope it's still there 100 years from now! 8)

Thanks for taking us on the tour, Paul :).
The silhouette of the cape on the satellite photo looks almost like a mirrored Sylt.
Ptown Cape Cod Sylt

Cool observation, Chrissi. However, John's photo is of the entire Cape Cod area (the island at lower left is Martha's Vineyard), and Provincetown is the sandy bit at the very tip.
Have you been to Sylt? It looks like it has a huge, white sand beach. Is that the North Sea?

Yeah, that's what I meant, the whole cape.

Yes, it's the North Sea. I've never been to Sylt. It must be a beautiful place, it's a very popular tourist destination, but also has a reputation of being the island of the rich and famous.

Although it's rapidly changing, Provincetown always had the reputation of being a place full of weirdos, hippies, and bohemians. It attracts writers and artists. In recent times, its most famous resident probably was Norman Mailer. The rich and famous still go to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
