My weekend in pictures
Last weekend, that is. Last Sunday I took a ferry from Boston to Provincetown, a town located at the extreme tip of Cape Cod:
A tanker obstructs Boston as we leave the harbor:
Sail boats in the open sea:
Arriving in Provincetown. For the record, Provincetown is a small town (under 3,500 inhabitants according to the 2000 census), but it's known for its beaches, artists, and tourist industry. That tall monument in the middle of town commemorates the Pilgrms signing the Mayflower Compact in Provincetown’s harbor in 1620. The Pilgrims agreed to settle and build a self-governing community, but they must not have liked the beaches of Provincetown because they continued across the bay to Plymouth shortly thereafter:

I saw this girl getting dangerously close to a seal, and all I could think about was Buster's unfortunate seal-related mishap on Arrested Development:
Commercial Street, Provincetown:
I'm told* The Lobster Pot is a Provincetown institution (*so says The Lobster Pot's website):
Provincetown harbor at dusk:
Leaving P-town at 8:30 pm. This is blurry, but I still like it:
Arriving back in Boston around 10:00 pm:
